Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose by Joe Biden

4.0

Maybe I'm outing my political leanings by saying that this book made me like Joe Biden even more. I grew up in Delaware so I've known him all my life. In fact, as a teen I drove through the intersection where his wife and daughter died on a regular basis. We all knew the story. What I've always appreciated about Joe Biden is he speaks from the heart - maybe that's why he gets in such trouble with his mouth. I appreciate that he doesn't lean on spin doctors or polls to make his opinion known. This book is beautiful and so classic Joe - his pain and his pride intermingle and paint a picture of a grieving man who never loses sight of the big picture and his duty to his country and his family. Our world is a better place with him in it and our country will be a better place once he is leading it (oops! did I say that? Will Goodreads censor me?).
