Americans pulling together
I'm really proud of American Spirit, which I wrote with Taya Kyle. Like all my books, it's about heroes and people who have changed our lives.

I hope the stories we tell here will remind people how great our country is and can be, and how important it is for all of us, no matter our beliefs and differences, to work together to improve our communities.
