On January 8th 2011, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head at an event she was holding at a local Safeway in Tucson, Arizona called Congress on Your Corner. Nineteen people were shot and six died. Gabby lived.
The book tells the story of her life, marriage to astronaut Mark Kelly, and her miraculous recovery. It is a story tolled through Mark's eyes. It's beautiful and inspiring. It's a book full of hope, courage, despair, triumphant, and love.
I wish I could meet both Gabby and Mary to tell them how I grateful I am for their service to America, for their story, and for sharing it.
She's a remarkable woman. A hero. A fighter.
It's a great book. Read it.
Go here for a short video about Gabby from 20/20.
You can watch the full 20/20 episode here.
I also read three other books over the break. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. Some of the best books I've read! Seriously, so, so good! I pulled two all nighters reading those books.
If you haven't already read them (you probably have, I'm a little behind) go read them right now. I loved them so, so much! And I can't wait for March 23, 2012 when The Hunger Games Movie comes out.
As you can see I had a great time reading over the break. I used to hate to read. But when I can choose what I read it's SO much better! I wish I didn't have to go back to school, so I could keep reading so much. Soon enough, soon enough.
