Taya Kyle was unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight when her husband, Chris Kyle, one of America’s greatest heroes was murdered. Chris’ story was told in the book and movie, American Sniper. Chris did many combat tours for the United States as a Navy SEAL.

Taya continues to rise above her grief and pain with a family she loves and a platform honoring Chris’ life. Taya provides help and hope to those going through tragic times through speaking engagements, writing and her foundation, Taya and Chris Kyle Family - Service Marriage Strong.

Taya became a New York Times best-selling author with her first book, American Wife, and in 2019 released her second book – American Spirit – a collection of short stories chronicling the lives of inspirational people she has met through her travels, all of whom show the American Spirit is as strong as ever. Later this year, she is also releasing her first Children’s book series titled Prayers For Bears.
