After
years of teaching English to college and high school students, Jill
Biden has written a book of her own. The wife of Vice President Joe
Biden has completed a children’s story, “Don’t Forget, Nana, God Bless
Our Troops,” told from the point of view of granddaughter Natalie Biden
and a tribute to soldiers and their families. The story is especially
personal because her son Beau Biden, Delaware’s attorney general and a
major in the state’s Army National Guard, spent a year in Iraq. The book
will be published June 5th. Biden said she came up with the title after
putting Natalie to bed one night. They read some stories and said their
prayers, and Biden got up to say goodnight. As she was leaving, Natalie
said, “Don’t forget, Nana, God bless our troops.” Biden is receiving no
advance. She and the publisher said all net author proceeds are being
donated to charities for military families.
