Description

#1 New York Times bestseller View from the East Wing is Jill Biden’s memoir of her four years in the White House. Included in The New York Times list of “The Nonfiction Books Everyone Will Be Reading This Summer,” it offers a personal account of public service, family life and a complicated moment in American history.

Jill Biden became First Lady at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the shadow of the January 6 insurrection. From the East Wing, she continued advocating for causes including women’s health, military families, vaccine awareness, cancer initiatives and education. She also made history as the first First Lady to hold an outside job while her husband was in office, continuing her work as a professor at a nearby community college.

In View from the East Wing, Jill shares her White House experiences in her own words. She reflects on the Biden presidency and its impact on her family, taking readers behind the scenes from Camp David to Air Force One, from grading papers in the Rose Garden to witnessing the abrupt end of her husband’s bid for re-election.

This is the story of a woman dedicated to her roles as a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and First Lady of the United States, while seeing herself as an ordinary woman living an extraordinary life.
