Saving Graces (Abridged): Finding Solace and Strength from Friends and Strangers Audiobook

" Poorly written, political narcissism, and nothing much more than a tedious rundown of every single person E.E. wants to thank for their political help. I was disappointed there wasn't more about the death of her son and her battle with cancer...this could have been a much better book. "

" Her growing up: boring Her son dying: good account The run for VP: interesting overall: a bit too religious and preachy "

" a fantastic and poignant read! "

" Very good read - even though she's a Democrat. "

" Love autobiographies! She is such a strong woman. Warning...do not read this book pregnant or hormonal in any way. The descriptions of losing her son hit me too close to home. "

" gotta admire this lady! I'd vote for her..... "

" Elizabeth Edwards is a remarkable lady and I was devastated when she announced her cancer had returned and was incurable. "

" I really enjoyed her story; I picked it up because I found Elizabeth and John's story interesting and close to home for me. I laughed, I cried, I cried some more and I finished the book feeling like I new this woman and her story well. I wish she were running for President! "

" I listened to this book on cd. Elizabeth is an amazing women. Every person should read her book! My heart goes out to her even more these days. After losing a dear son who was only 16 and having breast cancer, NOW her cheating husband ...I just feel for her. "

" Irrespective of who her husband is/was, this is an interesting book about coping with many life changes. "

" Ms. Edwards is an eloquent writer who comforts through her strength and courage in the face of despair. "

" In all fairness, I skimmed a lot of the second half of this book. Her grief was so deep I could almost taste it, and rather than be consumed by it, I had to let it go. The sections I enjoyed the most were about her parents and Elizabeth's younger years growing up in Japan, FL, and VA. "

" Interesting and ttouching, although the campaign bits get a little boring. "

" This is the story of Elizabeth Edwards and her journey through breast cancer. It's written sweetly, with her warm spirit and outlook on life. Good reading book, hard to put down once you start it. "

" Honest bio focusing on her sons' death and how it affected the family. Presents John in a very good light...before the scandal. "

" I love Elizabeth Edwards. We have a lot in common. She is intelligent, compassionate and a survivor on several fronts. This book details the journies of loosing her son at age 16, the 2004 presidential/VP race, and of her first discovery and treatment of breast cancer. "
