In this memoir, Michelle gets personal, honest, intimate. Through her eyes, you see her beginnings, her passion for more than corporate law, and falling in love with Barack. 

She talks about facing adversity, speaking for the black communities, fighting for women equality, and her struggles with pregnancy.

She keeps boundaries that helps her in seeking strength and sanity. Her choice to leave politics to Barack and battle against Food and Beverage businesses that serve sugar and soft drinks in school lunches to promoting fresh food and eating right campaign to building a vegetable garden at the White House.  

She speaks about the sacrifices Barack made for his country and family. Outside counseling that helped nurture their relationship. Their families and backgrounds that shaped who they are and their discontent and frustration for bigger dreams and a better world. Seeing Malia and Sasha going up in the White House.

This last line Michelle says ending the Barack administration really touched me. "It has to hurt that he entered fatherhood as a politician and so close to having more freedom just when his daughters are about to enter college. But we have to let them go, the world is theirs, as it should be."

Inspirational and heart felt.
