Description
Killing Kyle Orth is the true story of a runaway kid who grew up on the streets, pulled into addiction, violence, and crime. Prison felt inevitable. Every choice narrowed his future.
Everything should have ended during a high-speed police chase. Police fired 26 rounds into his car. Three hit their mark. Kyle survived.
What followed was a brutal reckoning and a hard climb out of a life built on survival at any cost. This unforgettable entry in true crime books, nonfiction, goes beyond the headlines. More than one of many crime books about downfall, it is a story of trauma and recovery, consequences and redemption.
For readers drawn to true crime, books about second chances, and books for recovery that don't offer easy answers, Kyle's journey is both sobering and deeply human. It also speaks to those seeking books about spiritual healing, as it asks a haunting question: when everything has gone wrong, is real change still possible?

What Readers Are Saying
"This book pulled on all my heartstrings. It opened my eyes to a world so completely different from my own. I couldn't seem to turn the pages fast enough. Kyle's captivating tale had me heartbroken, anticipating the next twist and turn and hopeful for redemption. It prompted me to consider my own perspectives on various facets of society as well as the incredible reality that there's no place too dark for the light of Christ to reach."

"A chance encounter, an unexpected invitation to grab some coffee, and the start of a three-year conversation that revealed the most amazing story of struggle, courage, and redemption I have ever heard. I have taught undergraduate and graduate students at half a dozen universities. A different life path would have placed Kyle conformably among the best of them. But his story is not one of lost opportunity, grievance, or self-pity. Not what might have been, but what might be. Kyle has taught himself what I never could have, finding the light where there is none. So, as you read his story, let Kyle be your teacher, as he was for me -- for there is none better."
