Carrying the Tiger

For readers who believe that love can carry us through even life’s harshest storms, Carrying the Tiger is a memoir that will move you, comfort you, and stay with you long after the last page.

When Tony Stewart and his wife, Lynn, were confronted with a devastating diagnosis, they sat together at their kitchen table—holding hands, cherishing time, and asking how to make the most of what remained. What followed was an extraordinary journey of courage, humor, heartbreak, and unshakable love. Even after Lynn’s passing, Tony continued to walk beside her in memory, finding ways to honor his grief while opening his heart to healing.

Tender, heartrending, and ultimately hopeful, Carrying the Tiger is both a love story and a guide for anyone touched by illness, loss, or grief. It offers readers not just sorrow, but shining moments of joy and meaning—reminders that even in the darkest places, light still breaks through.

This is a book meant to be read, shared, and talked about. To make that possible, we’re giving one lucky book club 12 copies of Carrying the Tiger for their next meeting!
