Becoming by Michelle Obama

5.0

---

4.5 stars! This was a moving, memorable book. Obama does such a wonderful job of exploring the complexity of a life lived in the shadow of the US President, the further complications of being a black woman from “the wrong side of town”, and the compromises and sacrifices made for something much bigger than herself. I think many, many women will empathize with her situation, and see themselves in her story.
