The light we carry : overcoming in uncertain times af Michelle Obama
Love Michelle Obama; her Becoming was one of the best books I’ve ever read. This just doesn’t come close to that at all. Took me almost 2 months to finish
It is a warm, powerful, and inspirational chronicle by the former First Lady of the United States. Perfection.
Enlightening book from a very intelligent, humble, relatable, reflective woman about what it's like to be at the center of the political world as First Lady while also trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy as a parent, wife and professional. Lengthy, well-written and chock full of anecdotes about the Obama family.
Michelle is just lovely. I enjoyed Becoming a little more, but The Light We Carry is still a great read
