“Yeah, because I tried to get into — I tried to go to my car,” Hunter responded. “And my girls literally blocked the door to my car. Said, ‘Dad, Dad, please. You can’t. No, no.’ This was the hardest part of the book to write.”

“I thought, ‘I need to figure out a way to tell him that I’m going to do something so that I can go take another hit,’” Biden said.
“It’s the only thing I could think. Literally. That’s how powerful. I don’t know of a force more powerful than my family’s love. Except addiction.”
