The Vow by Kim and Krickitt Carpenter is a touching true story about love, commitment, and perseverance. The book was first published in 1996 and inspired the 2012 movie of the same name. It recounts the personal journey of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, a newlywed couple whose lives were dramatically altered after a tragic car accident just months after their wedding. The accident left Krickitt with severe memory loss, including erasing any memory of her relationship with Kim. Despite Krickitt not remembering him or their love story, Kim stood by her side, determined to win her heart again and honor the vows they had taken. The book delves into their faith, resilience, and how they rebuild their marriage from scratch. The story is particularly inspiring for its portrayal of unconditional love and the power of faith, as Kim and Krickitt’s Christian beliefs played a central role in their healing process. Their journey became an example of the meaning of the marriage vow “in sickness and in health.“​⬤
