RebelReader I knew this one would be a tearjerker, but I still look forward to reading it. 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘ve been thinking about reading this. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @RebelReader @Reviewsbylola Well, you‘ll hear what I think soon. I can tell this one will go fast. It was just the purity of the family love at the beginning that made me cry. Sometimes you don‘t know what you have until you‘ve lost it. 😥 6y

With unbelievable aplomb, and his characteristic charismatic, sometimes even cheeky, candidness, Mr. Biden tells the heartbreaking story of his last year with his son, and his family‘s battle to find hope even in the darkness. It makes me long for what could have been, because VP Joe is one of the good ones. I admire him more than ever, as a politician, and as a truly decent human being. #promisemedad #joebiden #vpjoe #pleasecomeback

“I try to be mindful, at all times, of what a difference a small human gesture can make to people in need. What does it really cost to take a moment to look someone in the eye, to give him a hug, to let her know, ‘I get it. You‘re not alone.‘”

I love him so much.

I can very safely say that this will definitely be my first book of 2018. I‘ve had it since its release day, and I honestly can‘t believe I haven‘t posted about it yet. I admire Mr. Biden tremendously, and I look forward to reading this. (I‘m so tempted to shove the library pile aside in favor of this, but...I‘ll be good.) #promisemedad #joebiden
