Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself
An intimate look at the love that built the Biden family and the delicate balancing act of the woman at its center
"How did you get this number?" Those were the first words Jill Biden spoke to U.S. senator Joe Biden when he called her out of the blue to ask her on a date.
Growing up, Jill had wanted two things: a marriage like her parents'—strong, loving, and full of laughter—and a career. An early heartbreak had left her uncertain about love, until she met Joe. But as they grew closer, Jill faced difficult questions: How would politics shape her family and professional life? And was she ready to become a mother to Joe's two young sons?
She soon found herself falling in love with her three "boys," learning to balance life as a mother, wife, educator, and political spouse. Through the challenges of public scrutiny, complicated family dynamics, and personal losses, she grew alongside her family, and she extended the family circle at every turn: with her students, military families, friends and staff at the White House, and more.
This is the story of how Jill built a family—and a life—of her own. From the pranks she played to keep everyone laughing to the traditions she formed that would carry them through tragedy, hers is the spirited journey of a woman embracing many roles.

Former NEC director Gene Sperling tapped to implement Biden Covid relief plan
Mar. 15 - Former National Economic Council director Gene Sperling will oversee the implementation of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan, the White House announced Monday.
Sperling, who led the National Economic Council under Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, will play a role similar to Biden’s when the latter was vice president during the 2009 financial crisis. Biden at the time was in charge of initiating the the Obama Recovery Act.
Sperling, according to a senior administration official, will work with the heads of the White House policy councils and key leaders at federal agencies so they can get the relief bill’s mandated funds out as quickly as possible and maximize their impact.
The official said the administration is going to partner with state and local governments on the effort, similar to how Biden implemented the Recovery Act over a decade ago.
Biden signed the coronavirus relief package on Thursday.
As CNBC reported in February, Sperling was being floated to replace Neera Tanden as the administration’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget. source from

First Lady Touts Child Care, Job, Direct Payments Benefits in American Recovery Act
Mar. 16 -BURLINGTON, NJ -- First Lady Dr. Jill Biden made her first stop in her national "Help is Here" tour in South Jersey on Monday to underscore the benefits of the recently enacted American Recovery Act just days after President Joe Biden signed it into law. Governor Phil Murphy, United States Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker and Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-3) were among the dignitaries who welcomed Dr. Biden to the Samuel Smith Elementary School in Burlington.
The $1.9 trillion COVID relief package contains $360 billion in state and local aid, of which the State of New Jersey will see approximately $6.434 billion, plus another $189 million to expand broadband internet across the state. An additional $1.823 billion will be split among the 21 counties and $1.741 billion divided among all 565 municipalities.
"This is a celebration of all that the American Rescue Plan means for our State and for our families," said Murphy during the event. "Today, New Jerseyans are waking up to find that much-needed direct financial support has hit heir bank accounts. That means the rent or mortgage can be paid; the utility bills can be paid; grocery and clothes can be bought, among so many other possibilities."
"For us in state and local government, the American Rescue Plan means that we can better protect our frontline public health workers and first responders and our educators. It means that we can work to get even more vaccine doses into the arms of the New Jerseyans who patiently are waiting their turn," said Murphy who noted that as of that morning the State had surpassed more than three million vaccine doses administered.
The federal funds also will provide direct, flexible, federal assistance for New Jersey to help the state and local communities combat COVID-19, keep firefighters, police officers, teachers and other essential workers on the job, and spur economic recovery.
