In her book 'Resilience' Elizabeth Edwards writes about more than her husband's affair. It is actually only a small portion of the book. The book is mainly an autobiography of her life, her cancer and the death of her son. It would have been more shocking if she had left her husband's affair out of it; the affair was part of her life. As for why her husband is going around publicizing it with her, I don't know. It may seem strange given the fact that he had an affair, but he obviously supports her. As for the publicity, it really is the prurient minds of the media that seem to always ask questions about the affair above anything else when interviewing her. I have included a link below with a review about the book from the LA Times.

As for her motivation for writing about the affair, it very well may have been a coping mechanization. It's always good to talk about or even write about your feelings(Diaries would be a good example.). It also could be to needle her husband just a little. They may still love each other but there is nothing wrong with dragging him through the mud just a little so he knows how she probably felt.
Good Luck!

His political life is OVER. What else can he do at this point but support his wife and her endeavors?
