The story of Michelle Obama, from her early life in a Southside Chicago apartment through the end of her husband's presidency. It is a story of her strenght and resillience of how she was able to climb from a poor Black family to First Lady of the United States. She is quick to name and credit those who helped lift and support her and her family, including friends, family members, colleagues, and support staff. She recounts both her and her husband's accomplishments and their daughters' lives. She does her best to be both realistic, talking about tragedy with due weight, while also keeping positive where she can.
