Those were the first words Jill Biden spoke to U.S. senator Joe Biden when he called her out of the blue to ask her on a date. Growing up, Jill had 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? And was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons? She soon found herself falling in love with her three "boys," learning to balance life as a mother, wife, educator, and political spouse. 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. This is the story of how Jill built a family--and a life--of her own. From the pranks she played to keep everyone laughing to the traditions she formed that would carry them through tragedy, hers is the spirited journey of a woman embracing many roles. Where the Light Enters is a candid, heartwarming glimpse into the creation of a beloved American family, and the life of a woman at its center"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Biden, Jill. 600 10 $a Biden, Jill $x Family. 600 10 $a Biden, Joseph R., $c Jr. $x Family. 650 0 $a Educators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Vice-Presidents' spouses $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240614010615.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013425.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023714.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010406.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20211030010429.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=814FAF12EB7B11EB93BE284041ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
