Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope

An email showed up in my inbox from one of our 2012 keynote speakers, Jeff Zaslow, about his newest project, being unrolled this week. He invited me to share it:

I'm happy to let you know that GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope, the memoir of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and astronaut Mark Kelly, will be released this Tuesday. I was honored to collaborate with them on the book.

This Monday night at 10 p.m. ET, there will be an hour-long ABC special tied to the book. Here is a 30-second promo.

The book also is excerpted this coming week in PEOPLE magazine.

Many thanks for taking a look!

All good wishes,

Jeff Zaslow

Can't wait to see him at the workshop in April, where we can ask him about finding the story no one else can tell, on this books, plus other great ones like The Girls from Ames and The Last Lecture.
