Publisher's Summary

A deeply moving memoir of addiction, loss, and survival. This is Hunter Biden’s story of tragedy and trauma, and his journey to overcome it all.

When he was two years old, Hunter Biden was badly injured in a car accident that killed his mother and baby sister. In 2015, he suffered the devastating loss of his beloved big brother, Beau, who died of brain cancer at the age of 46. These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction. 

In Beautiful Things, Hunter recounts his descent into substance abuse and his tortuous path to sobriety. The story ends with where Hunter is today - a sober married man with a new baby, finally able to appreciate the beautiful things in life.

Critic Reviews

"In his harrowing and compulsively readable memoir, Hunter Biden tells it all with a bravery that is both heartbreaking and quite gorgeous. He starts with a question: Where’s Hunter? The answer is he’s in this book, the good, the bad, and the beautiful." (Stephen King)

A gruelling story of loss, love and addiction in which love wins in the end

This book reveals the loving Biden family marred by early tragedy where at the age of 2 Hunter Biden was traumatised physically and emotionally as well. He lost his mother and baby sister when he and his beloved brother Beau survived a car accident. In his 40’s, Beau died of a brain tumour and Hunter descended into near fatal drug and alcohol addiction despite the love, support and best efforts of his father, Joe.
Hunter’s description of his addict years are harrowing and I must admit, tested my concentration. However, for me that made his redemptive new love with Melissa shine all the more brightly.
I felt this book would help addicts and especially their families to understand addiction better. Once Hunter was sober and clean I particularly like his almost gratitude to Trump and Giuliani for the strength of their negativity that Hunter was able to use as a positive source of energy during his recovery. I guess they weren’t counting on that when they lied about Hunter almost daily. I don’t doubt that Fox News will continue to attack him but now must do so in the knowledge they are adding to his strength and the Beautiful Things in his life.
