I watched this movie and LOVED it. I am anxiously awaiting when it comes out on blu-ray because I want to buy it and keep it forever. I read the book because I heard that there was more to the story that wasn't revealed in the movie. The source was correct. The movie makes the husband seem perfect and the book sheds light on his being human. The book is actually VERY different than the movie. It is more focused on Krickitt (the wife) and her prayer journal and spiritual life rather than just the time when the memory was lost. It is actually really beautiful. It inspired me and made me want to be as devout as she was. The courtship between Krickitt and Kimmer was this beautiful story. Don't read on if you don't want the book spoiled.
They met when Kim was a coach for a college baseball team and Krickitt worked for a sports business. They talked on the phone, then wrote letters, then exchanged photos, then met in person. It seemed like a true courtship, with both of them being virgins when they were married. The book was great, not better than the movie, but quite different. I enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.
