Joe Biden has lived an extraordinary life and career, culminating in his role as Barack Obama's beloved and influential vice president. In his memoir, Promises to Keep, Biden shares his insights into what he has learned about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. Growing up in a Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, Biden overcame personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career setbacks. He has had close relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and has led powerful Senate committees.

Through his recollections, Biden demonstrates how the guiding principles he learned early in life—to work to make people's lives better, honor family and faith, value persistence, candor, and honesty—have shaped his life's work as a husband, father, and public servant. Promises to Keep is an intimate series of reflections from a politician who has overcome numerous challenges to become one of America's most effective leaders and who remains committed to making a positive impact. It is also a testament to the promise of the United States.

Biden's memoir offers a glimpse into his personal journey and the values that have guided him throughout his career. It is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, history, and the American way of life.
