Story5 out of 5 stars 6,350
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites listeners into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.

A book of the heart, for the mind and the soul
Reviewed: 02-06-2020
This is a book for 2020. I listened to it during the Covid19 pandemic and finished it during the time of the George F protests...D. Trump's most unbecoming hours. I came to better know and desire to emulate the Obamas in my 8-kid family. Michelle is a born storyteller. Her voice as she reads calming, truth telling. I don't read political or autobiographical texts but Michelle shows you around the political context, she connects her story with your family, with kids, with my own sense of growth, discovery and inner struggle. I am in awe. So pleased I decided to read it. I couldn't put it down. The issues covered are all the key ones for a woman, any child of mine, for those of us coming from a history of struggle and painful social minority, traumatic experiences. Thank you Michelle for the passion, the hard work and inspiration, the powerful message to keep striving

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 139
From the moment Lucy met Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana is exquisitely polite, but Lucy knows, even after marrying Oliver, that they'll never have the closeness she'd been hoping for. But who could fault Diana? She was a pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice, the matriarch of a loving family. Lucy had wanted so much to please her new mother-in-law.That was 10 years ago. Now, Diana has been found dead, leaving a suicide note. But the autopsy reveals evidence of suffocation. And everyone in the family is hiding something....
