Becoming by Michelle Obama Book Review

As Michelle Obama begins her narration of “Becoming,” you realize this is her story, not Barack’s. We’ve already heard enough about him anyway.

Of course, she gives readers a sneak peek behind the scenes of her husband’s political rise. You might be surprised to learn that she wasn’t happy with his decision to run for political office... but her story doesn’t begin there.  

"Becoming" shares the intimate details of Michelle Obama's life--from childhood piano lessons to early motherhood and beyond. She reveals the simple love story between two ordinary people who just happened to become America's first African-American President and First Lady. You can feel the love on every page.
