Becoming

Becoming by Michelle Obama is the bestselling memoir by the former First Lady of the United States. With candor and grace, Michelle Obama chronicles her roots as a daughter of Chicago’s South Side, her years at Princeton and Harvard Law School, her career as an attorney and public sector advocate, and her marriage to Barack Obama. The memoir covers her eight years in the White House the challenges of raising two daughters in the public eye, the personal cost of political life, and her campaigns for healthy eating and education. But above all it is a meditation on identity, ambition, race, and the ongoing work of becoming the person you want to be. An empowering and beautifully written account of an extraordinary American life.
