The November 14th issue of People Magazine features the cover story ‘Gabrielle Giffords’s Incredible Comeback’  The magazine has the untold tale of the Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords‘ remarkable and ongoing recovery from an assassination attempt.  On January 8, 2011, Giffords was a victim of a shooting near Tucson,which was reported to be an assassination attempt on her, at a supermarket where she was meeting publicly with constituents.  She was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head.

In this week’s PEOPLE cover story (with exclusive photos), Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, share personal pictures and an excerpt from their new memoir Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope, written in collaboration with The Last Lecture’s Jeff Zaslow.

Though Giffords still struggles to speak, she makes herself crystal clear on one point in particular in the book’s epilogue. “I will get stronger,” she vows. “I will return.”
