Gabby

a Story of Courage and Hope
Mar 13, 2012Keogh rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
An exceptional book of courage, hope, determination, and working past the impossible. Mark Kelly has a crisp style of writing, and his voice comes across quite clearly. Gabrielle Giffords' personality, both before and after the shooting shines right through. The narrative is matter of fact, deeply sad at times, very human, and even funny on occasion. I can't say how much collaborator Jeffrey Zaslow was involved in the process, because the book feels very true to Kelly's voice. The lasting impression of the book is the sense that we get to really like and admire these two people, both for who they've been and what they've done in the past, and the extraordinary resilience they've shown since that terrible day.
