"Jill: A Biography of the First Lady examines how Biden's
commitment to her work has defined the first family as much as her
husband's own political career and ambitions."--The 19th
"[Dr. Jill Biden's] devotion and vigilance - often enacted publicly

friends."--People

"In Jill: A Biography of the First Lady, authors Darlene Superville
and Julie Pace chart the story of Jill meeting Joe (and making him
propose five times!), becoming a mother to Beau, Hunter, and
Ashley, going through three presidential elections, and breaking
barriers with her decision to work outside the White
House."--Vanity Fair
"With Jill: A Biography of the First Lady, AP reporters Darlene
Superville and Julie Pace shine a light on the lifelong educator
and Biden family protector."--Elle
"Pace and Superville draw on memoirs by Jill, Joe, and Hunter
Biden; published interviews, articles, and biographical material;
and an interview with Jill herself to create an admiring biography
of the first lady... The authors portray Jill as a devoted,
practical, energetic mother and wife, able to juggle family life,
public responsibilities, and teaching, to which she is wholly
committed. In short, brisk chapters, the authors recount Jill's
busy, productive life: engaging in Joe's presidential runs,
supporting military families, and responding to family challenges,
including the death of Beau Biden from brain cancer and Hunter's
problems with addiction. A fond portrait of a woman anyone would
want as a friend."--Kirkus Reviews
"Up to date through late 2021, this is a satisfying, enlightening
profile of a talented woman redefining the role of First
Lady."--Booklist
