Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series) Review
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!
Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series) Overview
Elizabeth Edwards is one of the most beloved political figures in the country and, on the surface, she seems to have led a charmed life. 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.

Did not receive ordered item! - Eclector -
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 - Chicago Fan -
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.
