A Best Seller Summary of an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States. 
Warning! This is a summary book, intended to harmonize with Michelle Obama’s compelling memoir, not to replace it.  
BECOMING: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS 
In a life filled with accomplishment and racial tension, and doubt of her abilities, Michelle Obama emerged as one of the most iconic women of our era. As the first Black First Lady of the United States, she played a part in creating the most inclusive White House in history. Establishing herself as a powerful advocate for girls and women in the U.S. and around the world, and dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, she stood with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.   
A work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Becoming author Michelle Obama invites readers to join her in chronicling her story. We experience her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, a shy girl self-confined to her room to play with dolls until age 10, to her years as an executive balancing the demands of work and being a good mother, to her time spent in the 132-room White House where she broke security protocol to sneak out to see the rainbow White House colors to celebrate gay marriage in all 50 states. With both wit and surprises, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both private and public--like placing her hand on the Queen of England. Timely and revealing, Becoming is the personal story of an unlikely rise to the White House by a woman of color that also sends up a few puzzling red flags.

Under the Influence - Reclaiming...

A personal and brutally honest account of the destructive dynamic that a drug affected and mentally ill father can have on his child.

Through Under The Influence, Zachary gives us a sacred peek into his once shattered mind, teaching us that, even against all the odds, a broken mind can not only be healed, but can go on to flourish, inspiring others along the way. 

From the author: "'Under the Influence' is the story of my childhood. It provides an insight in to the reality of being the son of an addict, paranoid schizophrenic, chronic hoarder and drug dealer. 

For as long as I knew him, my dad dealt. Every day, a procession of desperate, malnourished and volatile addicts would visit our house looking to score. 

From a child's perspective, they seemed to have only one goal - acquiring their next high. Growing up in this environment had a profound impact on my life and world view. 

I never felt safe."
