When Jeff Bauman woke up on Tuesday, April 16th, 2013 in the Boston
Medical Center, groggy from a series of lifesaving surgeries and
missing his legs, the first thing he did was try to speak. When he
realized he couldn't, he asked for a pad and paper and wrote down
seven words: "Saw the guy. Looked right at me," setting off one of
the biggest manhunts in the country's history.
Just thirty hours before, Jeff had been at the finish line of the
2013 Boston Marathon cheering on his girlfriend, Erin, when the
first bomb went off at his feet. As he was rushed to the hospital,
he realized he was severely injured and that he might die, but he
didn't know that a photograph of him in a wheelchair was
circulating throughout the world, making him the human face of the
Boston Marathon bombing victims, or that what he'd seen would give
the Boston police their most important breakthrough.
Up until the marathon, Jeff had been a normal 27-year-old guy,
looking forward to moving in with Erin and starting the next phase
of their lives together. But when his life was turned upside down
in ways he could never have fathomed, Jeff did not give up. Instead
he faced his new circumstances with grace, humor, and a sense of
purpose: he was determined, no matter what, to walk again.
In STRONGER, Jeff describes the chaos and terror of the bombing
itself and the ongoing FBI investigation in which he was a key
witness. He takes us inside his grueling rehabilitation, and
discusses his attempt to reconcile the world's admiration with his
own guilt and frustration. And he tells of the courage of his
fellow survivors. Brave, compassionate, and emotionally compelling,
Jeff Bauman's story is not just his, but ours as well. It proves
that the terrorists accomplished nothing with their act of
cowardice and shows the entire world what Boston Strong really
means.
