A book for Elizabeth Edwards

Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, will be publishing a book called "Resilience: Reflections On the Burdens and Gifts of Facing Life's Adversities" this May.

It is not clear yet to what extent – if at all – Edwards will discuss the the infidelities of her husband, the former North Carolina senator and one-time Democratic vice presidential candidate in her book. Random House, Edwards's publisher, says in a press release that, "This short, powerful pocket-sized inspirational book makes an ideal gift for anyone dealing with difficulties in their life, who can find peace in knowing they are not alone, and promise that things can get better."

Edwards's 2005 book, "Saving Graces," which dealt with her struggle with breast cancer and the death of her 16-year old son, Wade, was a bestseller.

The Raleigh News & Observer has a full story which can be seen here.
