Texas Governor Greg Abbott is making a stop in North Texas as part of his 19 city book tour promoting, "Broken But Unbowed."

It is an inspirational book that tells the story of how he overcame a freak accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. It also outlines outlining his plan to, "Restore the Constitution."

In 1984 at age 26, Abbott was jogging when a falling tree crushed his spine and left him using a wheelchair. He received millions in a lawsuit settlement, but now opposes large jury awards in civil cases.

Abbott was Texas attorney general before becoming governor and sued the Obama administration repeatedly over policies including environmental regulations and the nation's health care law.

Abbott said in a statement Monday that he hopes his book will encourage Americans to "join the fight to restore lawful freedom and fix our country's foundation."

Abbott will be singing books at the following locations:
Thursday in FRISCO – 7:00 pmp at Barnes & Noble 2060 Stonebriar Centre Mall
Sunday in PLANO – 1:00 p.m. at Barnes & Noble 2586 801 W. 15th St.
Sunday in FORT WORTH – 4:00 p.m. at Half Price Books – Ridgmar/Westover Village
