Didn't love it. Seemed like it was written by her husband. She seems like a tenacious, feisty woman. Would have liked more about her work in congress, like Warren's and Gillibrand's books.
Loved the bit about what Mark engraved on her wedding band. I thought that shit only happened in novels.

I listened to the audiobook. This book was solidly okay. Interesting to hear about Gabby's back story and recovery. But, the book was too long for the story it told.

Very good book!! I didn't realized all the treatment and physical therapy Gabrielle Giffords went through to get where she is today. Her husband was also there by her side for it all.

I listened to it on audio book and to hear their story in BOTH Mark and Gabby's voices was amazing! Espicially with Gabby!! May Gabby continue to recover!

This was a terrific read. Interesting, touching, and compelling. I believe it will do a lot of good in reminding us all of the repercussions for letting politic discourse cross a line, because all that anger has to go somewhere. Gabrielle Giffords has made a remarkable recovery, in great part due to her own tenacity and a terrific support system. The other part of the equation is that government employees get superior and affordable health care and this couple are aware of their good fortune in this, and that so many people with brain injuries hit a ceiling because they're without the same advantages.
The chapters merge and connect stories of their courtship and earlier lives with her recovery. How the woman she was before the accident, the man he was, allowed them to remain a team. Although, she did become quite angry with him on one occasion.
I wish this admirable couple all the best and I pray for Gabrielle Giffords's continued improvement.

I am a sucker for books about women in political power.
While there were times the book lost me, the final chapters and the message Giffords wrote made me love her even more.
So yeah, it's more 5 stars for Gabrielle Giffords and not the book.
