Publisher Description
Jeff Bauman woke up on 16th April 2013, in the Boston Medical Center, groggy from a series of lifesaving surgeries and missing his legs. Just 30 hours prior, Jeff was surrounded by revelry at the finish line of the Boston Marathon cheering on his girlfriend, Erin, when the first bomb went off at his feet. When Jeff awoke, rather than take stock of his completely altered life, he ripped out his breathing tube and tried to speak. He couldn't. So he wrote seven words, 'Saw the guy. Looked right at me,' setting off one of the biggest manhunts in the country's history and beginning his own brave road to recovery. His remarkable story is a testament to what it means to be Boston Strong.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In April 2013, Jeff Bauman’s quick, clear-headed thinking enabled police to capture one of the terrorists responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing. Astonishingly, Bauman provided this help in the hours immediately after losing both legs in the explosion. His account of the seconds, days and months that followed the attack is written with inspiring humanity, courageous honesty and a desire to highlight the heroism and compassion of others. Most striking is Bauman's empathy for the terrorists and his refusal to be consumed by hatred. Stronger—the basis for the 2017 film of the same name—is a triumphant testament to the power of the human spirit.
