A profound and indefatigably hopeful piece of literature. Michelle Obama is a consummate storyteller. 

She interweaves each memory and insight with purpose in order to reveal a larger message of resilience, hope, kindness, love, and empowerment. 

This is a wonderful read.

Really enjoyed this! Was great to hear about Michelle and Barack's stories before being in the public eye, the struggles they endured and the changes they made :)
