"Marie Tillman's moving memoir, The Letter, is a story of profound
courage. It takes courage to walk out into the unknown to reclaim
one's life after a tragedy. It takes courage to live in a public
way with such private pain. And it takes courage to share one's
journey with an open heart knowing that it will bring comfort and
connection to others. Marie's courageous example will inspire so
many to recognize their own power to be architects of
change."--Maria Shriver, Journalist, Author & Activist
"The Letter is a candid, eloquent account of unthinkable loss, its
incapacitating aftermath, and Marie Tillman's long, lonely journey
back to daylight. Graced with illuminating vignettes of her
marriage to Pat Tillman, the ambivalent Army Ranger who was killed
in Afghanistan by his comrades, The Letter is both a heart-rending
elegy for an extraordinary man and an indispensable road map
through the wilderness of bereavement. It's a brave and wonderful
book."--Jon Krakauer, author of Into the Wild and Where Men Win
Glory
"In this moving debut memoir, the author describes her struggle to
deal with grief and to come to terms with the cynical abuse of his
sacrifice...An inspiring account of the author's difficult decision
to become a public advocate for military families."--Kirkus
"Marie Tillman's elegantly written memoir weaves together a love
story with the life affirming lesson that grief's tributaries can
flow toward healing and acceptance. This book reminds us that it's
possible to move past trauma without forgetting or letting loss
define you. This is a must read for anyone who has worked to
overcome life's sorrows and embrace its triumphs with grace."--Lee
Woodruff, New York Times bestselling author of In An Instant and
Perfectly Imperfect
"Marie Tillman's gentle memoir of love and loss is an important
reminder to all that life isn't measured by its length, but by its
depth."--Regina Brett, New York Times bestselling author of God
