In this lyrical, non-objective, and engaging biography, the son of a Black African father and a white American mother seeks to find a tangible meaning in his life as a Black American.
It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father - someone he knows more as a myth and less as a man - has died in a car accident. This sudden death triggers an emotional Odyssey that will start from a small town in Kansas, where he traces the movements of his mother's family to Hawaii, reaching all the way to Kenya, where he encounters the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and, in the end, reconciles his conflicting heritage.
