"Delaware will be written on my heart." In 1972, a young Delaware attorney made an audacious bet, challenging the state's most formidable politician in a race for the US Senate. Joe Biden won that election at age twenty-nine, but weeks later, his wife and daughter died in a car crash that also injured his two sons. This is the story of Delaware's preeminent political leader, his family and their journey over the decades since. From the Charcoal Pit to the Hotel DuPont, St. Joseph's on the Brandywine to the Wilmington train station, these tales reveal Joe Biden's deep roots in Delaware and how they helped carry him to the White House. Author Dan Shortridge examines Biden family lore and traces the history of the institutions that shaped their lives and the First State.
