Saving graces [sound recording] : [finding solace and strength from friends and
Edwards, Elizabeth
Adult Fiction 921 Ed95
From Publishers' Weekly:
The breast cancer diagnosis Edwards received on November 3, 2004, is dismayingly common. Uncommon, however, is the timing and the circumstances surrounding it. Wife of the vice presidential candidate John Edwards, Edwards¿s discovery of the lump on her breast came shortly before the 2004 presidential election and subsequent defeat of the Kerry-Edwards¿ ticket. This mixture of the common and the uncommon, of the everyday and the extraordinary, defines Edwards and her life. A lawyer, mother of a grown daughter and two young children, and the wife of a politician, Edwards is both an optimist and a realist with the ability to laugh at herself. Yet she has had to endure a parent's worst nightmare-the death of her teenage son, Wade, in a car accident. In the end, however, Edwards's memoir is not about cancer, politics or even unbearable loss (though the description of her grief is heart-wrenching). It's about the value of people coming together to support each other. You'll find no celebrity gossip here. But like the kiss on the forehead her husband gave her at the end of their first date, this memoir is disarmingly moving. (Sept. 26) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
