Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) is writing a memoir with her husband, astronaut and Navy Capt. Mark Kelly.
Currently untitled, the memoir will be published by Scribner at a yet-to-be-determined date.
According to Scribner, the book will be about Giffords's and Kelly's life together, starting from their courtship through Giffords's time in politics so far.
It will include an account of the Arizona shooting rampage of Jan. 8, 2011, where Giffords suffered a gunshot wound to the head, as well as the aftermath of the shooting and Giffords's recovery.
Since the shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz., that claimed the lives of six and left 13 wounded, including Giffords, the congresswoman has been experiencing what many have called a nearly miraculous recovery process.
In a recent interview on ABC's "Today Show," President Obama praised Giffords's recovery.
"It's a genuine miracle to see where she was just a few months ago and where she is now," Obama said.
Still, Giffords's staff has been hesitant to say how much the Arizona Democrat would continue to progress or if she will ever be able to fully return to her job in Congress.
