Book: Becoming
Author: Michelle Obama
Synopsis
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her – from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it – in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations – and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Our Review
This revealing memoir offers new insights into Michelle Obama’s upbringing on the south side of Chicago and the highs and lows of her life as the first, black, President’s wife. We all thoroughly enjoyed this book and had nothing but admiration for Michelle as a working woman, first lady and mother.
