Becoming is a deeply personal memoir of the life to date of former First Lady Michelle Obama. The style is conversational and candid, and sounds very much like the woman we grew to know during the eight years of her husband's presidency.
But the book provides the context for that woman as Obama presents us with an overview of her life and the experiences that shaped her own ambitions long before she met and married Barack Obama, the difficult adjustments she had to make to accommodate his political career, her dislike of politics as currently practiced, her decision to use a First Lady's "soft power" to advance causes she believed in, and her resolve to provide her daughters with privacy and normalcy as they grew from children to young women during their eight years in the White House.
From "Becoming Me" to Becoming Us" to Becoming More," this is a book that celebrates roots, aspiration, sisterhood, empowerment, collaboration and giving back.
