In this book, Michelle Obama remembers her ancestors fondly and discusses how she uses them as role models. (Her great-great-grandfather was a slave on a rice plantation in South Carolina.) Growing up, she excelled at every school she went to, including Princeton and Harvard Law School. While working at a Chicago law firm, she met Barrack. Her family felt they were a perfect match in strength and character. But being a lawyer was not fulfilling. Her goal was to improve the world she lived in. She took on several other positions with various institutions to find her calling. After she married, she kept true to her heart and made sure family came first. She and Barrack are proof that if you work hard for your dreams, you can achieve them.
