Former Vice President Joe Biden reflects on 'powerful relationship' with late son Beau in new memoir

Joe Biden‘s upcoming memoir is a look back at one of the most momentous years of his life — and the most painful. In Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, due out Nov. 14, the former vice president reflects on the death — and life — of his late son Beau, who died of brain cancer at 46 in May 2015, as well as the challenges he faced fulfilling his political duties while in mourning. “I wrote this book because I wanted everyone to know what a remarkable man my son Beau was, and what a powerful relationship he had with his family,” Biden said in a statement to PEOPLE.
