59:02Now PlayingJill Biden discusses her book, "Where The Light Enters", at a Politics and Prose event at Sixth and I on 5/14/19.
Former Second Lady Jill Biden gives readers a candid, heartwarming glimpse into the creation of a beloved American family, and the life of a woman at its center with her memoir, Where the Light Enters. Growing up, Jill wanted two things: a marriage like her parents'—strong, loving, and full of laughter—and a career. An early heartbreak had left her uncertain about love, until she met Joe. But as they grew closer, Jill faced difficult questions: How would politics shape her family and professional life? Was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons? Through the challenges of public scrutiny, complicated family dynamics, and personal losses, she grew alongside her family, and she extended the family circle at every turn: with her students, military families, friends and staff at the White House, and more.
Dr. Biden is in conversation with actress, producer, and author Tracy Pollan.
Jill Biden is a professor at Northern Virginia Community College and a former Second Lady of the United States. As Second Lady, she advocated for military service members, veterans, and their families; community colleges; the fight against cancer; and the education of women and girls around the world. She continues this work today through the Biden Foundation, the Biden Cancer Initiative, and the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. Dr. Biden is married to Vice President Joe Biden.
