Michelle Obama grew up on Chicago's South Side, and while
the world outside her door was chaotic and ever-changing,
her family provided a stable environment in which she could
grow and flourish. This look at Michelle Obama's life and
the turning points that shaped her shows how a girl from a
working class background could rise to become one of the
most influential women of her day.
But this is more
than a straight chronological retelling. This book looks at
Michelle Obama's life story within the context of the larger
movements in African American history: slavery, freedom, the
Reconstruction era, the Civil Rights movement, and finally,
her own era.
History is what has shaped Michelle and
challenged her. And ultimately, not only has she overcome
any obstacles put before her, she has carved out her own
place in history as well.
