Gabrielle Giffords narrates the final chapter of her book in the audio version

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Well, this is a hopeful sign. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords narrates the final chapter of her book in the audio version, set to be released the same day as the hardcover book on Nov. 15. Giffords records a chapter in book:

"Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope" is written by the 41-year-old congresswoman and her 47-year-old husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly. The publisher is Scribner, which is an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

Kelly reads the book aloud in the audio version with his wife reading the last chapter, according to an image on Amazon.com and confirmation by Giffords' Tucson office Wednesday. Giffords has already recorded the chapter, her office said.

Giffords and her husband are expected to be featured in an ABC special with Diane Sawyer on Nov. 14, the day before the book's release.

There was some dispute earlier over whether the Diane Sawyer interview would use only film clips of Gabby's recovery, or if Gabby would sit for her first TV interview since the shooting. If Gabby is confident enough in her speech recovery to narrate the audio version for her book, this will renew speculation that she may be ready to sit for an interview with Diane Sawyer.

We'll have to wait and see.
