Former first lady Jill Biden is ready to talk about her time in the White House.
The university professor announced on Tuesday, March 11, that he has written a memoir about his time with former President Joe Biden at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This book is scheduled to be released on June 2nd.
“I served as first lady during a unique time in our nation’s history, in the shadow of a pandemic and an insurrection. Those days tested all of us’ resilience, compassion, and trust in each other,” Jill Biden said in her announcement video.
“It has been the honor of my life to work in the historic East Building,” she said, noting that “part of this story has been told, but not the whole story.” Biden suggested that the book would touch on Joe Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and Vice President Kamala Harris’ subsequent bid to run against Donald Trump, whom her husband defeated in 2020.
Jill Biden told readers that this memoir will reveal “what that moment meant to our family and to me personally.”
She ended the video by saying, “Let’s set the record straight.” The book will be published by Gallery Books Group, a subsidiary of major book publisher Simon & Schuster.

Jill Biden’s choice to publish a White House memoir is in keeping with tradition. First ladies typically release personal reports on the presidency before their spouses.
Laura Bush’s “The Voice of the Heart” was published in May 2010, six months before former President George W. Bush’s book “Decision Points” was published the following November.
Michelle Obama’s popular book Becoming, one of the best-selling memoirs in U.S. history, was published in November 2018, two years before Barack Obama’s presidential memoir A Promized Land was published in November 2020.
First lady Melania Trump’s self-proclaimed coffee table book was published in 2024, but President Donald Trump has yet to publish a book about his first term.
