Elizabeth Edwards's battle with cancer has been no secret and her unfortunate and untimely death made headlines on practically every news outlet. I think her story is a captivating tale and will be written about as an ongoing narrative because her life had so many public highs and lows. She was a key campaign figure when her husband John Edwards ran for Vice President in 2004 and was always very respected by her peers. She was a lawyer, teacher, Gay Rights Supporter, Health Care Reform Advocate and mother. She endured tragedy and humiliation with the death of her son and her husband's very public affair with his videographer Rielle Hunter and subsequent love child and long term battle with cancer but as she writes in her book remained "resilliant". This article talks about those moments that marked her life and introduced us to her private life in a very revealing public manner.
The article really focuses on her life, talent, and enduring strenght. In future stories I expect there will be a lot of talk about her public life and how much she sacraficed and endured from her husband who turned out to be nothing like she or the public thought he was like.
