"Since Jan. 8, it's been really touching to us to see how much support there is for Gabby and her recovery, and how much interest there is in how she's doing and her story," Kelly, a Navy captain, told The Associated Press during a recent interview from Texas.
"After thinking about it, and talking about it, we decided it was the right thing to do to put our words and our voices on paper and tell our story from our point of view."

The book doesn't have a title yet, and doesn't have a release date. Kelly recently was commander of Endeavor's final mission which ended on June 1.
Gabby's incredible recovery took another step forward when she was released from a Houston hospital last week, but will continue outpatient therapy.

Kelly and Giffords are collaborating with author Jeffrey Zaslow, who worked on Randy Pausch's million-selling The Last Lecture and Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's Highest Duty. Scribner will publish the memoir.

Gabrielle has THE most amazing husband. She is blessed to have such a wonderful man looking out for her, and I hope and pray that she recovers her full range of speech.

Seriously ...are we supposed to believe that this woman is reading and writing. Don't think so. Write the book Mark and dedicate it Gabby

This was clearly an assassination attempt on a member of congress. Congress members are NOT provided security. She was holding a fundraiser in a supermarket parking lot during the middle of the day = It does not get anymore American than that.

WE, as Taxpayer's & regardless of Party affiliation, should make sure she does not lose her congressional salary & should receive whatever healthcare she requires to return her to her original status before almost being assassinated.
