Product Description
The bestselling author of Saving Graces shares her inspirational message on the challenges and blessings of coping with adversity.
She’s one of the most beloved political figures in the country, and on the surface, seems to have led a charmed life. In many ways, she has. Beautiful family. Thriving career. Supportive friendship. Loving marriage. But she’s no stranger to adversity. Many know of the strength she had shown 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 her own life has been 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 reoccur in 2007.
While on the campaign trail, Elizabeth met many others who have had to contend with serious adversity in their lives, and in Resilience, she draws on their experiences as well as her own, crafting an unsentimental and ultimately inspirational meditation on the gifts we can find among life’s biggest challenges. This short, powerful, pocket-sized inspirational book makes an ideal gift for anyone dealing with difficulties in their life, who can find peace in knowing they are not alone, and promise that things can get better.

This 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!

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.

 not very good August 3, 2010

This 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.
I would not recommend this book.
Boring August 3, 2010

I was looking forward to reading this book but was really disappointed. I was expecting a memoir. 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.
