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.

 Rating:  - Excellent ReadingExcellent seller!!!! Book was recieved in about 10 days and I finished it in two days. Very good book of lifes many problems and how to overcome them by keeping a possitive attitude. Rating: - ResilienceThis was a fantastic book and I have a total different outlook on Elizabeth Edwards now. She is a strong, smart, beautiful woman. John Edwards will be sorry someday.............. The book was in perfect condition and I will definitely purchase from this seller again! Rating:  - Did not receive ordered item!I ordered Resilience by Edwards. Instead, I received a book called The Mailbox, BUT the packing slip indicated that the book was Resilience. I am not a happy camper. Barbara Muller Rating:  - not very goodThis book was by far, not one of my favorites. I guess I was expecting too much. I had already read "The Politician" by Andrew Young and was expecting this book to be even better but it was not. There is too much rambling and talking about her deceased son. I understand that she will be forever saddened by his passing but she mentions him in almost every chapter. The best part was the end when she added another "chapter" after she realized the "truth" about her husband's affair. ...

This was a lot of rambling and going off track to various musings of her life. I skipped through most of the book and still haven't finished it. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe it will get better.
