Becoming

Fascinating. It's the story by Mrs. Obama and what she experienced from childhood to the end of her and Obama's second term. She shares her joys, happiness, frustrations, and hatred. The book showed me about how it was living in Chicago and Washington DC. I lost most interest when she talked about Mr Obama's as President because I couldn't relate to his presidency to her life. I wanted to read/listen to the book so that I would have a better understanding of what it means being black in the U.S.A. I have family members, coworkers and fellow parishioners who are African descendants, but they normally say nothing about their life. I am European descendant, but all people are created/loved by God. So, a friend had this book on his phone and I listened to a part. This book answered a lot of questions. Don't get me wrong, I would like to get an autobiography from Melania Trump and her experiences growing up and her life now. This is 1 woman's opinion on what she experienced in life.

I loved this book! I found it fascinating to hear Michelle's life story, her very humble beginnings, her relationships with her family, her first love. The profound role her mother had in her life made me want to be a better mother. I highly recommend this book.

Great story. It was awesome to see that she Struggled with some of the same things that most working mothers go through. Loved how she stood by her husband and was passionate. The first lady also has an incredible vocabulary.
