In many ways, she has. Beautiful family. Thriving career. Supportive friendships. But she’s no stranger to adversity. Many know of the strength she showed after her son, Wade, was killed in a freak car accident when he was only sixteen years old. She would exhibit this remarkable grace and courage again when the very private matter of her husband’s infidelity became public fodder. And when her own life was on the line. Days before the 2004 presidential election–when her husband, John, was running for vice president–she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After rounds of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, the cancer went away–only to recur in 2007. In Resilience, Elizabeth Edwards crafts an unsentimental and ultimately inspirational meditation on dealing with life’s biggest challenges. This powerful and inspirational book makes an ideal gift for anyone dealing with difficulties in their lives, to draw strength from the kind of attitude that Elizabeth has developed, and find peace in knowing that they are not alone. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - greedy, greedy, greedythose three little words apply both to Saint Elizabeth and to the price of the kindle book Rating:  - I'm ambivalentIt's hard to review this book. It's an easy read and kept me interested. It's also sad and depressing. But those are the facts of Elizabeth's life. I ache for her. Saddest of all is knowing their divorce is pending after reading the book's account of her attempts to deal with the affair. In the book, she is trying to regain trust and hurts for her husband who feels great guilt. He is trying to earn her trust back. Something after the book was written happened to push her over the edge. I ... Read More Rating: - DisgustedA sadly, pathetic bitter woman. She's among the elite hypocritically claiming trying to help the people her husband has gotten rich off of and now living in a mansion that was built from money juries awarded thinking the money was going to injured people. If history remembers this woman, which it proably will not, she will not be looked upon favorably-she's part of the problem and not part of what makes our country great. I am so glad she and her floundering husband are not in the White House right ... Read More Rating: - She's brave, she's very bright, but she is not honestWhile it is obvious that the author is very intelligent and well read, this book was totally not worth the purchase price. It is painfully obvious that, although her eldest son was an amazing young man, his mother was totally obsessed with him and she seems to barely remember he had a sister. Almost no detail is given about Cate. And, if she were being honest, she might have at least said of her husband, "he cheated," "he fooled around," or something semi-bland instead of every single ...
