Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose [Paperback]

Overview

In his deeply moving memoir, former Vice President Joe Biden recalls the year that would forever change his family and the country.

In November 2014, the Biden family gathered on nantucket for their annual Thanksgiving celebration. This year was different. Not only was Joe in the middle of his second term as Vice President, his eldest son, Beau, had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. With his survival uncertain, Beau had said to his father, “Promise me, Dad. Give me your word that, no matter what happens, you’re going to be alright.” Joe gave him his word.

Promise Me, Dad chronicles the momentous and challenging year that followed. He traveled more than a hundred thousand miles that year, dealing with crises in Ukraine, Central America, and Iraq. As his son spent the next twelve months fighting for his life, Joe balanced his responsibilities to his country with his responsibilities to his family. The year brought great triumphs and accomplishments along with the deep pain of losing his son. Vice President Biden was able to navigate even the worst of times through his deep bonds with his family, his steadfast faith, and his friendship with President Barack Obama.

Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose is a poignant reminder of how family and friendships sustain us and how hope, purpose, and action can guide us through the most heartbreaking of losses. Written by a man who held many roles — vice president, father, grandfather, friend, and husband — Joe Biden allows the readers to feel the urgency of each moment.
