Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will sit down with Diane Sawyer for her first TV interview since she was shot Jan. 8, ABC News announced on Monday.
The Arizona Democrat will appear with her husband Mark Kelly during a prime-time special Nov. 14, the Associated Press reported. On Nov. 15, her joint memoir with Kelly, entitled “Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope,” hits bookshelves.
The book will chart the couple’s romance, Giffords’ political rise, Kelly’s work as an astronaut and the Jan. 8 shooting when a gunman killed six and shot Giffords in the head at a constituent meeting she held near Tucson. The memoir will also cover her intensive recovery over the past few months.
Kelly has given interviews since the shooting — he granted his first to Sawyer as well — but Giffords has not.
And a spokesperson for Scribner, the book’s publisher, told the New York Times on Monday that Giffords and Kelly have not scheduled any other interviews related to the memoir.
