Hunter Biden details his struggle with addiction -- and his dad's love -- in new memoir
CNN
In a new memoir, Hunter Biden reveals his staggering slide into crack addiction and how he was buoyed by his father, President Joe Biden. "Beautiful Things" details the younger Biden's lifelong struggles with drugs and alcohol; his first drink was aged 8, downing a glass of champagne at a family event.
Biden's book chronicles his life to date, with lengthy passages on his close relationship with his late brother, Beau Biden, and it sheds insight on what it was like to grow up the son of Joe Biden. "Beau and I loved his elaborate talks about current events, usually beginning with historical backgrounding that could reach back centuries, then ending with personalities and dynamics at play today," writes Biden of his father, a man known in part for his verbose answers and explanations.More Related News
