In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has
emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As
First Lady of the United States of America*the first African-American
to serve in that role*she helped create the most welcoming and
inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a
powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world,
dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more
active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through
some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few
dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth
daughters under an unforgiving media glare.  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.  (Goodreads)
