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

3.0

You’ve heard of Joe Biden, lifelong politician and former Veep. You know of his tragic early adulthood, of his wife and 3 little kids being in a car accident, and only his 2 sons surviving. This is his telling of the time when on those surviving sons, Beau, was living with and dying from brain cancer. At that time, Biden was VP, with several important foreign policy crises happening, AND a 2016 presidential bid to consider. We know how it all ended. This story tells you why.

Please don't stone me to death because I've always liked Joe Biden, but this smacks a lot like a well-crafted entree into the 2020 campaign.

Three stars. Biden wants us to know that he would have been a great President and likely would have won, if he had chosen to run. But he didn't. But he could have. But he didn't. But....(repeat repeat)
