Publisher's summary

A New York Times number-one best-seller, In an Instant is a heartfelt true account of the tragedy that nearly took the life of ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff - and of the subsequent recovery that proves miracles do exist. Lee and Bob Woodruff themselves tenderly narrate this harrowing, yet ultimately redeeming, journey of devotion and hope.

Critic reviews

"The Woodruffs reveal both the strengths and weaknesses that they brought to coping with Bob's crisis. Their frankness heightens the book's impact, as does its wider subject: the increasing frequency in Iraq of explosion-induced head injuries like those Bob suffered. This book means to draw compassion and attention to those casualties, and it surely will." ( The New York Times)

I haven’t finished this book but I am eager to do so.

Ok so I myself had a TBI when I was 16 and now I am 22. This book has helped find things about my accident that I didn’t know. I had 5 surgeries in my head and one in my eyes, and this book has opened things up for me. Bob woodruff and his wife wrote a masterpiece!!
