Book Review of Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities

Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities
SuzanneB avatar reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


First 2/3 of the book is beautifully written, especially the parts about how she dealt with the loss of her teenaged son. The last 1/3 is not so convincing, given the details that have since been published about both Elizabeth and John Edwards and the infamous Rielle Hunter scandal. But the book does offer a partial answer to the question, "Why does she stay with him?" (I realize they have recently separated.)

For anyone who has lost a child, this book is worth your time. Elizabeth has been there.
