Reviews of Resilience:

“Short but surprisingly deep . . . . It's a small book but a powerful one. And when you finish it you have not just a deeper understanding of Elizabeth Edwards but also a better appreciation for the strength of will it can take to survive.”
—Los Angeles Times

“Resilience is a fine memoir. It's written with clarity and grace, with a self-knowledge that is hard-won and well-expressed, and it does the one thing that a good memoir must: It allows you to see the world through another person's soul (which is a much greater challenge than walking a mile in their shoes). It shines with a quiet intelligence...Resilience has something new and crucial to say about grief, a subject about which Elizabeth Edwards has had to become a reluctant expert . . . [A] small polished jewel of a book.”
—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune
