**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.
