 About GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope by Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly with Jeffrey Zaslow:

“[The book] does not dwell on that terrible day in a grocery store parking lot. It focuses instead on the couple’s lives of extraordinary accomplishment,  separately and together, and on Giffords’ brave and remarkable recovery. ’This skillfully structured memoir, co-written with Jeffrey Zaslow (who helped make Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture and Chesley Sullenberger’s Highest Duty bestsellers), looks at Giffords’ and Kelly’s lives before and after the shooting, providing a clear sense of what gave each of them the determination to survive their personal catastrophe….GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope is gripping and inspirational. It’s also a real-life love story in the face of daunting odds.”    – The St. Petersburg Times

“This book is deeply personal and beautifully written, with the able assistance of Jeffrey Zaslow. It is also poignant, heartfelt and hopeful. Mark’s love for Gabby jumps off every page, but the very best part is page 299, which Gabby herself wrote.” — Book Reporter

““Gabby tells many stories, all of them well….This book transcends politics…This book will not be the final word on Giffords’ story either. But everyone who reads this deeply inspiring story will be rooting for her.” — Kirkus

“Gabby Giffords is breaking her silence—and redefining for the world what it means to be a fighter…A tale of love, of unthinkable trauma, of a heroic partnership and a long path to recovery”—People magazine

“A book about an amazing person, an amazing couple and their amazing story…This is a sad but ultimately heartwarming, uplifting tale.”— Shelf Awareness

About THE MAGIC ROOM by Jeffrey Zaslow:

“Jeffrey Zaslow has a remarkable ability to select a familiar topic—female friendship, for example, as in The Girls from Ames—and pursue that topic until he mines the diamonds, the stories, hidden beneath the surface. He displays this talent once again in The Magic Room…. the setting for this lovely, heartfelt work. ” — Publisher’s Weekly, Galley Talk column 

 “Forget bridezillas.  A best-selling journalist visits a small-town wedding shop to uncover the poignant dreams of real women on the verge of commitment.” — O magazine and Oprah.com

“Zaslow shadows half a dozen of the women who go to Becker’s Bridal, listening to their stories and writing a compelling and sincere chronology of the experiences, tragedies, and love that led them to the shop. His narrative is sprinkled with fascinating statistical information, as well as cultural analysis and insights into the lives of four generations of Becker women who have worked at the store.” – Library Journal 

 ”An emotive excursion through the world of parents and daughters and the state of marriage. The author approaches his subjects via a small-town Michigan bridal shop, a canny choice in that he can take measure of the heartland while framing the bigger picture through sociological studies and then tightening down to his own fears and hopes as a father of three girls. ….. Zaslow writes in a tone of inclusive intimacy. His vignettes of the six women are wildly dissimilar, but they weave together into a complicated damascene that holds true to much age-old wisdom. Zaslow’s profile of the bridal shop, from the geopolitics of dressmaking to the effects of TV shows like Bridezillas, is almost as riveting as the bridal tales.“ — Kirkus Review
