Best Wishes to Elizabeth and John Edwards


The Edwards campaign goes on. We would be so lucky if we could have this couple in the White House.

Elizabeth has cancer, but I think her book -- Saving Graces: Finding Solace and Strength from Friends and Strangers -- could help those of us who don't.

From Publishers Weekly:

"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."
