Saving Graces: Far From Ordinary

“In so many ways my life has been completely ordinary,” writes Elizabeth Edwards in her book, Saving Graces. But readers may find little that is ordinary in Mrs. Edwards' life. John Edwards is running for U. S. president for a second time, and if you're interested in the backstage details of life on the campaign trail, balancing political and personal life, then you'll want to read this book. If you've ever lost a child and grieved, you may be interested in her story of their son's death at age 16. But don’t expect this to be a breast cancer memoir, because Elizabeth Edwards has clearly moved on from there.
