Beautiful family, thriving career, loving marriage. But she's no stranger to adversity. Many know of the strength she had shown after her son was killed in a car accident. 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 was running for vice president--she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After much treatment the cancer went away-- only to reoccur in 2007. On the campaign trail, Elizabeth met others who have had to contend with serious adversity, and here she draws on their experiences as well as her own, crafting an unsentimental and inspirational meditation on the gifts we can find among life's biggest challenges.-- From publisher description Edwards, Elizabeth, 1949- 20581 Edwards, Elizabeth, 1949- Philosophy 20582 Edwards, John, 1953 June 10- 20583 Edwards, John,1953 June 10- Family 20584 Resilience (Personality trait) 12041 Legislators' spouses United States Biography 20585 Cancer Patients United States Biography 20251 Lawyers' spouses North Carolina Biography 20586 North Carolina Biography 20587 ddc BOOK 2911 2911 0 0 ABELJ abelj B 2016-10-26 0 B EDWA 6469 2016-10-26 22.95 2016-10-26 BOOK
