Why I'd hand it to you
Michelle Obama tells her story from a working-class childhood on Chicago's South Side through Princeton, Harvard Law, her career, her marriage and eight years in the White House. The best parts are the early chapters about her family and the honest sections on marriage, fertility struggles and raising daughters in a fishbowl. Her voice is warm and candid. To be fair, she stays guarded about some topics, and readers looking for inside politics won't find much. Those who disagree with her husband's politics may find parts one-sided. As a personal story about family and identity, it connects with a wide range of readers.
