✅ PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION
“… 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…”
✅ REVIEW
” Becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”
A candid and honest account of Michelle Obama’s life, told in her own words starting from her earliest recollections and ending in the present, a few months after leaving the White House.
I learned a lot about her life and take on things by reading this book. I remember her times at the White House fondly, always poised, elegant, a hard-worker, a woman to look up to, my admiration for her has grown even more. A true inspiration for women everywhere.
But not everything is sunshine and butterflies, she shows us her difficulties, her vulnerabilities. The challenging moments in her life, the sad, but also the triumphs, the hope beneath and above all.
I highly recommend it.
