Becoming

Becoming is an intimate and inspiring memoir by Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, she reflects on her journey from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as a lawyer, mother, and the first African American First Lady. With honesty and warmth, Obama shares the experiences that shaped her—balancing career and family, advocating for women, girls, and healthy living, and supporting her husband through historic and challenging times. Both deeply personal and empowering, Becoming is the story of a woman who continually grows, defies expectations, and inspires others to do the same.
