If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would you call? What would you say? Why are you waiting? Richard Carlson's sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and emails couldn't erase the loss felt by his wife, Kristine. To try and come to terms with her loss, she pored over 25 years of love letters, reliving the memories and cherishing her late husband's memory. But one letter stood out. Richard had written to his wife on their 18th wedding anniversary and attempted to answer the question: if you had one hour to live, what would you do, who would you call, and what would you say? An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love is a profoundly moving book that shows the importance of treasuring each day as the incredible gift it is.

An affordable and AMAZING GIFT for anyone!:
Since I first bought this book - I cannot tell you how many copies I have bought & given as gifts! It is a short read book - but what it delivers... the message of 'how to figure out what is truly important in your life & to then live it' ... is a gift in and of itself. It is a gift to yourself to read it, & if there is anyone - a family member, or friend - who could use a little love & inspiration - then this is it.
For romantics:
This book contains two love letters. One from husband to wife, and then the wife to the husband after his untimely death. Very moving and a great gift for your partner. Going through a rough patch in my marriage and I only wish I had read this book years ago and had done better by my wife. She deserved this kind of love.

almost like a premonition of his... more info
