Reviews
"What a terrific memoir! With an uncanny gift for storytelling and an eye for colorful detail, Biden artfully interweaves personal and public recollections to capture our imagination from start to finish. As future historians seek to understand the Biden family, there will be no better place to start than this intimate, warm, and beautifully written portrait." -- Doris Kearns Goodwin "With grace and candor, Valerie Biden Owens has given us an illuminating and moving memoir of an American family whose history is now inextricably intertwined with the history of our nation. From her unique perspective as her brother's friend, adviser, and campaign manager through tumult, tragedy, and triumph, Owens paints a memorable portrait of the soul of a president whose mission is to the save the soul of America. It is the tallest of orders, the most difficult of tasks. But to hear Owens's distinctive and original voice detail the Bidens' long journey, it's a job that could not be in better hands. This is a book about love, laughter, and life itself." -- Jon Meacham "As a campaign manager, senior adviser or chief surrogate for every one of her brother's campaigns, Valerie Biden Owens has been an integral part of Joe Biden's success, and a profound influence in his life. Her stories of their close-knit Irish Catholic family are deeply moving and funny at the same time. As one of the first women to run major political campaigns, she has been much more than an eyewitness to history--she's been an important part of it." -- Donna Brazile

Synopsis
**INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** 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. Growing Up Biden details Valerie's decades-long professional career in politics, and the central role she played in her brother's life as an insightful adviser, an ever-loyal advocate and best friend. This memoir, full of candor and warmth, brings readers into the Biden home and shares stories from growing up in Delaware as the only daughter of the close-knit Irish Catholic family. Valerie writes in a compelling, relatable way about the challenges she faced breaking through gender barriers, the elusive nature of confidence, and navigating professional responsibilities while raising children., "Our parents drilled it into our heads from birth that our most important job was to take care of each other. In my mom's words: 'Family is the beginning, the middle, and the end. Period.' They taught us that we were a gift to one another, and that our bond could never be broken. "Beyond that, we were expected to ell the truth-no matter what. We were expected to stand up to bullies. We were expected to treat everyone with dignity. We were expected never to despair. And no matter what our disagreements, we were expected to straighten them out at home. "This ethos shaped us as surely as our DNA. It taught us everything we knew about what it meant to be a Biden. And it was on our little shoulders to make our family proud." Book jacket., A memoir from Valerie Biden Owens, Joe Biden's younger sister, trusted confidante and lifelong campaign manager.
