Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love,” Hunter Biden writes in this deeply moving and “unflinchingly honest” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir of addiction, loss, and survival.

When he was two years old, Hunter Biden was badly injured in a car accident that killed his mother and baby sister. In 2015, he suffered the devastating loss of his beloved big brother, Beau, who died of brain cancer at the age of forty-six. These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

In Beautiful Things—“an astonishingly candid and brave book about loss, human frailty, wayward souls, and hard-fought redemption” (Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author)—Hunter recounts his descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety. The story ends with where Hunter is today—a sober married man with a new baby, finally able to appreciate the beautiful things in life.

    Addiction is a horrific disease but Hunter is far from sober. All those that contribute and support this book are enabling his addiction and inappropriate actions further. He is the true definition of “white privilege” .

    Politics aside - I can appreciate a good book. Curiosity did not kill the cat with this one. I was searching for a better understanding before judging and this so beautifully gave me way more than expected. For those that can sympathize and empathize regardless of what we believe to be true or not, this puts a lot into perspective. I may not agree with the policies they stand behind, but I appreciate the strength to stand up and speak out; whether I find his truths to be morally correct or not. Beautiful read.

    I enjoyed Hunter Biden’s book and respect his honesty. What a difficult and personal story to share. I had read Joe Biden’s book and found Hunter the better writer. I can read anything if it is well written.

    Hunter’s truth admitting his addictions will help so many addicts see their own truths. Brave and heroic to lay bare your heart and soul with such honesty. How many people are strong enough to expose their most traumatic and destructive disorders to a politically divided and polarized country that has so much hate for him. Thank you Hunter for your heroism.
