Summary:
"An intimate look at the love that built the Biden
family
and the delicate balancing act of the woman at its center. 'How did you get this number?' Those were the first words Jill Biden spoke to U.S. senator Joe Biden when he called her out of the blue to ask her on a date. Growing up, Jill had wanted two things: a marriage like her parents'--strong, loving, and full of laughter--and a career. An early heartbreak had left her uncertain about love, until she met Joe. But as they grew closer, Jill faced difficult questions: How would politics shape her
family
and professional life? And was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons? She soon found herself falling in love with her three 'boys,' learning to balance life as a mother, wife, educator, and political spouse. Through the challenges of public scrutiny, complicated
family
dynamics, and personal losses, she grew alongside her
family
, and she extended the
family
circle at every turn: with her students, military families, friends and staff at the White House, and more. This is the story of how Jill built a family--and a life--of her own. From the pranks she played to keep everyone laughing to the traditions she formed that would carry them through tragedy, hers is the spirited journey of a woman embracing many roles. [This] is a candid, heartwarming glimpse into the creation of a beloved American
family
, and the life of a woman at its center."--Dust jacket.
