JANUARY 2018 36 | {what are you reading} BOOKMARKED Where Frontdoors Media asks high-profile Valley visitors and residents what books they have been reading. I S R E A D I N G In this riveting book, Anita De Frantz shares stories of how she used leadership and influence in Olympic circles to fight sexual harassment and racism, growing women’s Olympic sports, influence new eligibility requirements, change outdated gender verification rules and more. She even delves into hot- button Olympic issues like doping and political scandals. Much more than a celebration of civil rights and Olympic victories, it reveals how one motivated, courageous, and passionate person can help change the world. I loved it!

JANUARY 2018 | 37 I S R E A D I N G In November 2014, thirteen members of the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, a tradition they had been celebrating for the past forty years; it was the one constant in what had become a hectic, scrutinized, and overscheduled life. The Thanksgiving holiday was a much-needed respite, a time to connect, a time to reflect on what the year had brought, and what the future might hold. But this year felt different from all those that had come before. Joe and Jill Biden's eldest son, Beau, had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor fifteen months earlier, and his survival was uncertain. "Promise me, Dad," Beau had told his father. "Give me your word that no matter what happens, you’re going to be all right." Joe Biden gave him his word. Director & CEO of Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West Michael J. Fox Promise Me, Dad BY JOE BIDEN S Y N O P S I S I S R E A D I N G In 2017 I took up a passion for cooking at home, instead of eating out as much as I have in the past.
