The legacy we leave behind says a lot about who we were as people throughout our life. Book lovers know we're leaving behind our literary legacy...now if only those who inherit are readers too!

Jill Biden's memoir is now available. Here is info. from my wholesale distributors listing of her book:

"A novelist once wrote, "There are stories one must tell, and years when one must tell them." Jill Biden's time to discuss her four years in the White House is now.

Jill Biden became First Lady at a complicated moment in US history, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the shadow of the January 6 insurrection. These were the circumstances under which she set up office in the East Wing, where she hit the ground running. Throughout her husband's presidency, Jill remained a tireless advocate for her causes, including women's health, military families, vaccine awareness, cancer initiatives, and education.

She made history as the first-ever First Lady to hold an outside job while her husband was in office, continuing to work as a professor at a nearby community college. Yet all the while, she saw herself as an ordinary woman living an extraordinary life.

In View from the East Wing, Jill shares her White House experiences for the first time, in her own words. She reflects on the Biden presidency and its impact on her family. She brings you behind the scenes, from Camp David to Air Force One, from grading papers in the Rose Garden to witnessing the abrupt end of her husband's bid for reelection. This is the story of a woman dedicated to her roles as a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher--and First Lady of the United States."

I am looking forward to reading this book about a woman with great talent and a love for our country. I have copies on order and am taking preorders at my store.
