Book Companion
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former
First Lady of the United States. 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.
Characters: 154. Amazon rating: 5 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
