After the tremendous success of BECOMING MY STORY, Michelle Obama shares her story with younger readers. A personal, powerful autobiography from the Former First Lady of the United States that can inspire us.
Through a life full of meaning and achievements, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our time. As the First Lady of the United States - the first African American to serve in this role - she contributed to creating the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history while also establishing herself as a strong advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world. She dramatically transformed the ways families pursue a healthier and more active life, while standing by her husband as he guided America through some of its most challenging times.
At the same time, she raised two “grounded” daughters under the relentless gaze of the media. In her autobiography, a thought-provoking work of compelling narrative, Michelle Obama invites readers into her personal world, recounting the experiences that shaped her – from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, to the time when as an executive she balanced the demands of motherhood with those of work, to the period when she lived at the most famous address in the world.
With unmistakable sincerity and spirited liveliness, she describes her triumphs and disappointments, both public and private, unfolding her entire story as she has lived it – in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revealing. Her book “Becoming” is an unusual, introspective account from a woman with soul and substance, who has continually surpassed expectations and whose story inspires us to do the same.
