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!

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. Barbara Muller
not very good   2010-08-03
By 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.
Boring   2010-08-03
By dnt43 (Columbia, Ca United States)
I was looking forward to reading this book but was really disappointed. I was expecting a memoir. This was a lot of rambling and going off track to various musings of her life. I skipped through most of the book and still haven't finished it. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe it will get better.
