Contents
Biden reflects on losing his eldest son
President Obama's implied preference that Biden not dilute her support in the primary elections.[2]
The title of the book was inspired by a conversation Biden had with Beau after his cancer had progressed significantly. Coming to terms with his own mortality, Beau assured his father that no matter what happened, he would be okay. He then asked his father to promise the same in return.[4]
Reception
Vanity Fair called the book "a brisk, often uplifting read, a consequence of its author’s congenital jollity and irrepressible candor."[1]
