Two months after their marriage, a devastating car wreck left Krickitt with a massive head injury and in a coma for weeks.When she finally awoke, she had no idea who Kim was. With no recollection of their relationship and while Krickitt experienced personality changes common to those who suffer head injuries, Kim realized the woman he had married essentially died in the accident. And yet, against all odds, but through the common faith in Christ that sustained them, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again. Even though Kim stood by Krickitt through the darkest times a husband can ever imagine, he insists, “I’m no hero. I made a vow.”Now available in trade paper with a new chapter and photo insert, The Vow is the true story that inspired the major motion picture of the same name starring Rachel McAdams (The Notebook), Channing Tatum (Dear John), Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), and Academy Award winner Jessica Lange.

No podía recordar su relación y sufría de los trastornos de la personalidad característicos de quienes experimentan lesiones en la cabeza. Así fue que Kim reconoció que la mujer con quien se había casado esencialmente murió en el accidente. Sin embargo, aunque todo les jugaba en contra, la fe que ambos tenían en Cristo los sostuvo, de modo que Kim y Krickitt volvieron a enamorarse. Aunque Kim apoyó a Krickitt durante toda la travesía más oscura que un esposo jamás podría imaginar, afirma “No soy ningún héroe. Hice un voto de amor.”   Votos de Amores la verdadera historia que inspiró la destacada película del mismo título y protagonizada por Rachel McAdams (El diario de Noa), Channing Tatum (Querido John), Sam Neill (Parque Jurásico) y Jessica Lange, ganadora del premio de la Academia Cinematográfica.
