Product Information

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir from the First Lady of the United States 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.

  • Great book

    Great Book! I do not normally read autobiographies and the book was recommended by a friend. It is inspiring how someone from such humble beginnings could rise to that level through determination, hard work and family values. What surprised me more is that it is so well written. A pleasure to read!

  • Will just call it Michelle Obama and it will stand out without knowing the author. Becoming without the author will not get far.

    A very good book. Will recommend it.

  • Excellent quality book

    I bought this as a present, having read it in my kindle. The quality of the ‘used’ book was excellent. It was indeed ‘as new’.

    Fascinating and compelling, one of the best autobiographies I have read. An amazing insight into American politics and life in the White House. Highly recommended.

  • Lots of insight into an interesting person and her life.

    An insight not only into Michelle as First Lady but as a child,a teen and a young woman falling in love with a very compelling young Obama, I loved getting to know both these wonderful people as they progressed through their lives, will admit to hurrying through a bit of the political stuff but certainly not the personal parts that made this a "so pleased I read this book", now I await Obamas story.

  • Absorbing ,informative and inspirational to others

    A very interesting book full of little known facts. It shows how a young girl knuckled down to being educated and graduated, eventually becoming FLOTUS.
