Becoming

Beloved First Lady Michelle Obama tells her story—from her humble beginnings on the south side of Chicago to life at the White House. Michelle had no Ivy League pedigree or trust funds, but through sheer hard work she landed a spot at Princeton for undergrad and then Harvard Law School. She balanced being a mother of two while working full time as an executive, all while supporting Barack in his political endeavors. She reflects on her journey in Becoming, a memoir that’s inspiring, poignant, and honest. There was rarely a chapter that didn’t have me crying or laughing, and often times both.
