What a gift this book is. I read it on a flight from California back to Chicago and at one point I was crying so hard that the nice man next to me asked if I was okay. Not only is this a beautiful meditation on faith and family, but it is a window into the world of a fascinating politician - a man whose personal life affects his political life and vis versa. A lesson in the strength of vulnerability; Joe Biden sets a high bar for fatherhood and leadership.
This book is beautiful, and very moving. I've always liked Biden but definitely came away from this book filled with admiration and sorrow for him. Beau Biden seemed like an incredible man, and it's awful that his life was cut so short.
This book was deeply encouraging and heart wrenching. I really liked Joe Biden before, but now I've fallen in love with him & his family. It is an honest, vulnerable look at a family walking through tragedy, and seeking hope in the midst of it. I didn't feel like I was reading about the former Vice President. I felt as though I was reading and living life with a family like mine. I highly recommend anyone read this book!
