"Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly's story is a reminder "of the
power of true grit, the patience needed to navigate unimaginable
obstacles, and the transcendence of love. Their arrival in the
world spotlight came under the worst of circumstances. On January
8, 2011, while meeting with her constituents in Tucson, Arizona,
Gabby was the victim of an assassination attempt that left six
people dead and thirteen wounded. Gabby was shot in the head;
doctors called her survival "miraculous."
As the nation grieved and sought to understand the attack, Gabby
remained in private, focused on her againstall- odds recovery.
Intimate, inspiring, and unforgettably moving, "Gabby "provides an
unflinching look at the overwhelming challenges of brain injury,
the painstaking process of learning to communicate again, and the
responsibilities that fall to a loving spouse who wants the best
possible treatment for his wife. Told in Mark's voice and from
Gabby's heart, the book also chronicles the lives that brought
these two extraordinary people together--their humor, their
ambitions, their sense of duty, their longdistance marriage, and
their desire for family.
A new, moving final chapter brings Gabby's story up to date,
including the state of her health and her announcement that she
would leave the House of Representatives.
Como individuos, la congresista Gabrielle Giffords y su esposo, el
astronauta Mark Kelly, demostraron a los estadounidenses como el
optimismo, el espiritu aventurero y el llamado al servicio pueden
ayudar a cambiar el mundo. Como pareja, se convirtieron en un
ejemplo nacional del poder sanador que puede encontrarse en la
valentia y el amor profundamente compartidos.
Su llegada al centro de atencion mundial se dio en la peor de las
situaciones. El 8 de enero de 2011, al reunirse con sus electores
en Tucson, Arizona, Gabby fue victima de un atentado que dejo seis
muertos y trece heridos. Los medicos dijeron que era un "milagro"
que hubiera sobrevivido.
Intima, inspiradora, conmovedora e inolvidable, "Gabby: Una
historia de valor y esperanza "cuenta la vida de estas dos personas
extraordinarias. Lleva a los lectores detras de muchas puertas
cerradas: a la plataforma de lanzamiento del transbordador
espacial, a los vestuarios del Congreso, y a las salas de hospital
donde Gabby lucho para recuperarse con la ayuda de formidables
equipos medicos y de familiares y amigos dedicados.
"Gabby: Una historia de valor y esperanza "es un recordatorio del
poder que tienen la valentia y la paciencia en la superacion de
obstaculos inimaginables, y de la trascendencia del amor.
