This is the inspiring story of a modern American icon, the first comprehensive account of the life and times of Michelle Obama. With disciplined reporting and a storyteller’s eye for revealing detail, Peter Slevin follows Michelle to the White House from her working-class childhood on Chicago’s largely segregated South Side. He illuminates her tribulations at Princeton University and Harvard Law School during the racially charged 1980s and the dilemmas she faced in Chicago while building a high-powered career, raising a family, and helping a young community organizer named Barack Obama become president of the United States. From the lessons she learned in Chicago to the messages she shares as one of the most recognizable women in the world, the story of this First Lady is the story of America. Michelle Obama: A Life is a fresh and compelling view of a woman of unique achievement and purpose.

"C'è ancora molto che non so dell'America, della vita, di quel che potrebbe riservarci il futuro. Ma conosco me stessa. Mio padre, Fraser, mi ha insegnato a lavorare sodo, ridere spesso e mantenere la parola data. Mia madre, Marian, mi ha mostrato come pensare con la mia testa e far sentire la mia voce. Insieme, nel piccolo appartamento nel South Side di Chicago, mi hanno aiutata a riconoscere il valore della nostra storia, della mia storia, all'interno di quella, più grande, del nostro Paese. Anche se non è bella o perfetta. Anche se è più dura di quanto vorresti che fosse. La tua storia è quello che hai, quello che avrai sempre. Non dimenticarla mai."--
