Book Review-Gabby Giffords

Gabby A Story of Courage and Hope

by Gabrielle Giffords & Mark Kelly

I like to read. And as you can tell by now it is either biographies, history, and how-to books.

This book report is about Gabby Giffords. For those who might not know who she is she was having a Congress on Your Corner meeting on January 8, 2011 in Tucson Arizona. Gabby fell victim of an assignation attempt that left six people dead and thirteen other wounded. Gabby had severe brain damage and she is still on her way to recovery.

This is also a story about true love between a husband and wife. How Mark, who had to go into space, for he was on his last mission as an astronaut. He was the commander of space shuttle Endeavour had to leave Gabby when he went up in the shuttle. But Gabby was recovered enough that she was able to see him off.

Caregiver is also part of this story. And anyone who is or has been a caregiver knows that it is a very tough job under normal times. But to have to see your wife to struggle so hard to just say a word was heartbreaking to Mark. Mark wanted a fast recovery but that was not to come as of this time.

If you think of Gabby and Mark send up a prayer for them.

I found this book in my local library so check yours and see if you can get a copy or maybe it would be on Kindle or another type of reading device. I have not yet finished the book but it is great so far. A very heartwarming story.
