Helpful Score: 1

In some ways, this was a very tough book for me to read. I too had a son die and had to survive just like Elizabeth did. I too had a marriage dissolve after trusting and having the trust disappear. Like her, I too had to re-build my life over and discover who I was and who I am.

But I did not have to deal with the spotlight - with being picked apart for everything I said and did and expressed. I did not have to battle cancer, I only had to sit in painful solitude and watch as my mother slowly battled the disease, cancer, which eventually took her from me.

Elizabeth Edwards writes a haunting but poignant story about who she thought she was and the strong, independent and resilient women she really is. I could not put this one down. I am so glad I got know Elizabeth through her words that express her pain and her hope for a life well-lived.
