Daniel Hernandez helped save the life of Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords, and his life experience is a source of
true inspiration in this heartfelt memoir. “I don’t consider myself a hero,” says Daniel Hernandez. “I
did what I thought anyone should have done. Heroes are
people who spend a lifetime committed to helping others.” When Daniel Hernandez was twenty years old, he was working
as an intern for U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords. On
January 8, 2011, during a “Congress on Your Corner” event,
Giffords was shot. Daniel Hernandez’s quick thinking saved
Giffords’s life until the paramedics arrived and took her to
the hospital. Hernandez’s bravery and heroism has been noted
by many, including President Barack Obama. But while that may have been his most well-known moment in
the spotlight, Daniel Hernandez, Jr., is a remarkable
individual who has already accomplished much in his young
life, and is working to achieve much more. This memoir
explores Daniel’s life, his character, and the traits that a
young person needs to rise above adversity and become a hero
like Daniel.
