About this audiobook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“I come from a family forged by tragedies and bound by a remarkable, unbreakable love,” Hunter Biden writes in this deeply moving and “unflinchingly honest” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir of addiction, loss, and survival.

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 forty-six. These hardships were compounded by the collapse of his marriage and a years-long battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

In Beautiful Things—“an astonishingly candid and brave book about loss, human frailty, wayward souls, and hard-fought redemption” (Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author)—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.

Ratings and reviews

He's a disgusting pedophile and crackhead. His father is a criminal warmonger who stole our election and the media and social media cover it up. The Biden crime family get away with everything. But not for long 🐸🍿🧿

Compelling memoir of destructive living, with hope of family love redeeming. Fantastic, exposing, honestly told.

We can all learn from our mistakes, or die defending them
