BECOMING by Michelle Obama

Read This. An ordinary woman who is also a most extraordinary woman. Ordinary because she has the same values and morals as most of the rest of us, ordinary because she wants the best for her children and her family, ordinary because she wants to be fulfilled in her relationships and her work. Extraordinary because of the opportunities she found she had and what she did with them and her determination to be the best person she could be, extraordinary because of the unusual and not very ordinary man she married, and most of all extraordinary because of what she has done with those chances, the difference she (and her husband) have made to the face of the US,  to women, children, people of colour and diversity not just in the US, but everywhere. Down to earth, relatable, open and frank about her marriage, her family, the impossible working mother balance; radiating positivity and energy, fighting her own internal demons as well as the public ones. And a great story teller. Truly an immersive and uplifting reading experience.
