BECOMING by Michelle Obama

Book # 1

*****

1. BECOMING by Michelle Obama (4/16/20) I was excited that Michelle was performing (industry term) her own book. That made it come to life for me. In this book we see her as a child living with her family in their predominantly black middle-class Chicago neighborhood. Her father was working class, her mother educated. Both were strong supporters of the value of education in order to follow your dreams and have a good life. Michelle and her brother followed the advise and the rest is history. The book does not get political until she meets Barack Obama, who is driven to follow in that direction. She is supportive but wants none of that for herself.

Michelle describes and explains the journey her life took with it’s challenges without complaint. This is an interesting autobiography and she makes it a fun read!
