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.
