Michelle Obama Książki

Michelle Obama opisuje doświadczenia, które ją ukształtowały – od dzieciństwa w południowym Chicago, przez lata pracy na kierowniczym stanowisku, kiedy godziła macierzyństwo z karierą, aż do czasu spędzonego w najsłynniejszym domu świata. Pisząc z niebywałą szczerością, odwagą i humorem, odkrywa kulisy swojego życia rodzinnego. Opisuje, jak Obamowie znaleźli się w centrum zainteresowania światowych mediów i jak wyglądało ich życie w Białym Domu przez osiem kluczowych lat, kiedy poznawała Amerykę, zaś Ameryka poznawała ją. To zaskakująco intymny rozrachunek życia kobiety wrażliwej i stanowczej, która konsekwentnie odmawiała spełniania oczekiwań innych i której historia zachęca, by pójść w jej ślady. Nie wiem wszystkiego o Ameryce, o życiu, o tym, co przyniesie przyszłość. Znam jednak siebie. Mój ojciec Fraser nauczył mnie ciężko pracować, często się śmiać i dotrzymywać słowa. Moja matka Marian pokazała mi, jak samodzielnie myśleć i korzystać z własnego głosu. W naszym zatłoczonym mieszkanku na South Side w Chicago pokazali mi, że należy doceniać wartość historii: naszej rodziny, mojej własnej, kraju. Nawet jeśli bywa brzydka lub niedoskonała. Nawet jeśli odcisnęła głębsze piętno, niż byśmy chcieli. Twojej historii nikt ci nie odbierze. Należy do ciebie. - Z przedmowy
