Becoming

“Becoming” by Michelle Obama
Published by Crown
 
The United States has had many First Ladies come and go but Michelle Obama is by far my favorite so far.  Politics aside, she is not only a strong, well spoken, intelligent woman, she is kind, compassionate, and down to earth.  She strove to provide her daughters with as normal a life as possible, outside of the limelight.  She also strove to help all children live healthy lives and provided opportunities for them to see their own potential.  In this autobiography she shares with us her childhood in Chicago, her courtship and marriage with President Obama, their family life, and of course, her job as First Lady.  I listened to the audio that she narrates herself but also had a copy of the physical book to be able to see all the pictures.  I definitely recommend it.
