Overview

  • Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, will publish the memoir on June 2, with an audiobook read by Jill Biden released the same day.
  • The book promises her account of serving during the COVID-19 era and the Jan. 6 aftermath, along with her reflections on Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race.
  • In a brief AP interview, she described the writing as cathartic and said it offers what she considers a more balanced view of her husband's presidency.
  • During her White House years, she continued teaching at a Northern Virginia community college, becoming the first first lady to keep a paying job.
  • The release arrives as other 2024-cycle accounts reach shelves, including Kamala Harris’s 107 Days, with Joe Biden’s own memoir still in the works at Hachette/Little, Brown.
