About this listen

This program is read by the author.

A memoir from Valerie Biden Owens, Joe Biden’s younger sister, trusted confidante, and lifelong campaign manager. Valerie, one of the first female campaign managers in United States history, writes of the role of family, faith, and fate in shaping her life, and the power of empathy and kindness in the face of turmoil and division.

Growing Up Biden details Valerie’s decades-long professional career in politics, and the central role she played in her brother’s life as an insightful adviser, an ever-loyal advocate, and a best friend.

This memoir, full of candor and warmth, brings listeners into the Biden home and shares stories from growing up in Delaware as the only daughter of the close-knit Irish Catholic family. Valerie writes in a compelling, relatable way about the challenges she faced breaking through gender barriers, the elusive nature of confidence, and navigating professional responsibilities while raising children.

I really enjoyed this book, having followed Joe Biden since I was a kid. Growing up in Delaware, I campaigned for Joe in 1972, delivering fliers on my bike. It is a heartwarming story of family, love and watching out for one another. There has been a lot of heartache in the family, most of it lived out on the front page of a newspaper. It was great to hear another side from Valerie's point of view as well as her fierce loyalty to Joe and his boys.

First as a first generation Irish Catholic, I related to Valerie Biden’s stories. I don’t agree with all of Valerie or President Biden’s views, but feel he is an honest, caring man of integrity. Thanks for sharing this Valerie.

I really enjoyed Growing Up Biden and so glad I voted for Valerie Biden Owens' brother, Joe Biden. The memoir was heartwarming, funny and informative. They were just ordinary people with drive, pride and purpose. This is the first audiobook that I listened to from the beginning to the end. I hope it becomes a bestseller. I admire Valerie. I thank her for letting me into the family. I hope her brother runs for a second term and eliminates all this QAnon crap. they are destroying America with the propaganda.

Just an ordinary family with grit
