      abstract = {During the 2004 presidential campaign, Elizabeth Edwards  gained admiration for her smart, likable, and down-to-earth  personality. These qualities shine forth in this memoir of  trials, triumphs, and tragedies, and of the various  communities that celebrated her joys and lent her steady  strength and quiet hope in darker times. Growing up in a  military family, she learned how to make friends easily in  new schools and neighborhoods, and came to appreciate the  unstinting help and comfort naval families shared. Her  reminiscences of her years as a mother focus on the support  parents offer one another. Her descriptions of her  husband's campaigns for Senate, president, and vice  president offer a perspective on the groups, great and  small, that sustain our democracy. Her fight with breast  cancer, which stirred an outpouring of support, has once  again affirmed Edwards's belief in the power of community  to make our lives better and richer.--From publisher  description.},
