To Obama: With Love, Joy, Hate and Despair by Jeanne Marie Laskas
5.0
This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. Anger, despair, hatred, fear, an aching sadness you can't describe and hope. All these emotions felt by the American people before, during and after Obama's Presidency.
You are taken on a journey not many people knew about. A journey through The Mailroom of the White House. A place where people's fears, dreams and heartache are expressed in letters to President Obama. You get to know the people behind the mission, you get to know the reason behind the mission and you get to know the man that started it all a little better.
I cried in this book a lot. I laughed in this book a lot. I felt a bittersweet emotion reading this book knowing how it ends. I felt a connection to Obama, to the American people, and most importantly the people and their letters.
