Jill Biden is giving her perspective from a since-demolished part of the White House, with the former first lady penning a memoir called “View From the East Wing.”
In the book, announced Wednesday, Biden will share “her White House experiences for the first time, in her own words,” publisher Gallery Books said.
“She reflects on the Biden presidency and its impact on her family. She brings you 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 reelection,” the publisher said in promotional materials regarding Biden, who worked as a professor at a community college while her husband was in office.(snip)
In an interview with The Associated Press about her book, 74-year-old Jill Biden said writing the memoir was “cathartic.”
“I wrote about all the, you know, sometimes painful — but other times, most of it really beautiful moments that Joe and I shared during his presidency,” she said.(snip)
The title of the book references the East Wing of the White House, where the first lady’s office and staff have traditionally been located.
Trump ordered the East Wing demolished last year to construct a $300 million White House ballroom.

Hmmm. The party has pretty much kicked the Bidens to the curb; it looks like the presidential library is a bookmobile. Without party-affiliated group to launder money through bulk book sales, I wonder how the book will do

Will the “view” tell us who was really running the country? I’d buy that

So, the “Groom of the Stool” is going to reminisce about living with and cleaning up that incontinent vegetable?
How horrid it was to be mocked and ignored.

“Jill Biden is giving her perspective from a since-demolished part of the White House”.
Nothing less would have gotten the stench out.

Jill Biden is already in discussions about a followup book - “View behind the pen”.
To: simpson96
I figured she’d be ghost writing Joe’s White House memoirs.

Watched “Melania’ last night as it keeps loading on my Prime feed. Not my usual viewing. That being said it wasn't bad.
No politics. Just family and the work it takes to be a First Lady with class and elegance.
Dr.Jill do yourself a favor and just go home.
