Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
The Barnes &
Noble Review"If you have picked up this book in
hopes that in it there will be details of a scandal," writes
Elizabeth Edwards in her avidly discussed Resilience:
Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's
Adversities, "you should now put the book down."
Now she tells us.
