A Brave Woman
Who are we to judge Elizabeth Edwards? I certainly would not want to be walking in her shoes right now. Going through chemotherapy takes a lot out of a person; let along being married to a husband who had an affair on her. As far as I'm concerned, Elizabeth is the victim not her husband. If anyone should be ashamed, it should be her husband. Every time I hear his name, I get sick. Only individuals who have walked in her shoes, knows what she is going through and have an idea of how she feels. I think she should set the record straight for her children because the media and the internet can be brutal and pass along a bunch of trash. Trash is what seems to sell. People really don't want to hear the truth because the truth is becoming something of the past.
A Lasting Legacy
I get strong feelings that she should have settled out all her thoughts and feelings in regards to her husband before she published the book.
This seems like something she thought of that would outlive her and an attempt to continue to hound John with guilt long after she is gone.
Of course it will also be a constant reminder to her kids, too.
Yes, she was wronged, but how sound was their marriage before this was found out? Had he been thinking of leaving her before it was found out that she had cancer?
This is a very personal matter and I am embarrassed by hearing of it - over and over.
I can understand her thoughts being confused and seemingly inconsistant at times, but that is what therapy is for, not book publishing so all can witness the disfunctionality.

Your wife had courage. Elizabeth Edwards is a smug, spiteful, self righteous woman. We are supposed to treat her as if she is a saint, but she won't even insist that a simple DNA test be taken to determine if her husband is the father of an innocent child. Elizabeth Edwards should be ashamed of herself.
please
Americans are losing their jobs and their homes and their dreams, but, wait, we all need to stop everything . . . because . . . Elizabeth Edwards' husband cheated on her . . . for the first time .. . . Mrs. Edwards, please stop insulting our intelligence. This second book is merely a rehash of the first because you miss the limelight and are angry because you are not in the White House and your husband's most recent affair became nationwide news, with the little tidbit of the affair thrown in for talk show interest and sales. If you were truly resilient, you would be over this, as you begged us to be over it last year (before you wrote a book about it). When a woman in American who singlehandledly deals with an illness, a few children, and a cheating husband, who lives from paycheck to paycheck, writes a book about resilience and adversity, I will read it. There is nothing that I can learn from a woman who is a multimillionaire, who lives in a 28,000 square foot home on 100 acres. You are obnoxious.
Excellent legacy for her children and very thoughtful
Read Resilience and admired its tone and literary qualities. It encouraged me to keep fighting for my Mom when she was in the long-term care facility and declining. It was encouraging to see my Mom responding and then fighting so hard for her health, too.
There is more to the book than what the tabloids or Maureen Dowd might find of interest. Sometimes, Maureen sounds a bit stretched thin...like she is tired of the treadmill of meeting deadlines and filling the many inches demanded. When Maureen is good, she is very good. But at other moments, she sounds harassed, hurried, and gratuitously sarcastic.
