A memoir from Valerie Biden Owens, Joe Biden's younger sister, trusted confidante and lifelong campaign manager. Valerie, one of the first female campaign managers in United States history, writes of the role of family, faith, and fate in shaping her life, and the power of empathy and kindness in the face of turmoil and division.
What The Reviewers Say
She has particular insight into Biden’s personal life and his devotion to family. Her book provides details about the tight-knit Biden family’s devotion to one another and their Catholic faith’s influence on their political philosophies. She sensitively covers the tragedies the Bidens faced.
Adoring, almost worshipful in tone, Owens offers both triumphant and tragic memories in an easy and unpretentious manner that conveys the abiding influence of family, faith, and friendship in the Biden universe..
Touching.
