Want a peek into the White House? Want to know how even the world-renowned politicians start from scratch, like you or me? Want to know the human side of the glamorous political world? This is the book for you.

This is a remarkable story of a girl from a humble background and also belonging to a minority, who dares to grow wings and rise up like a phoenix from her ancestors’ ashes.

This was an honest voice of a girl who wasn’t ashamed to say that she came from a line of slaves. It shows her candour and clarity in thought. After all, it’s not the slaves who should be ashamed but those who deemed it justice to encourage slavery.

Michelle always dared to dream and reach high, defying a society that kept reminding her that it was a luxury a black girl can’t afford. Despite being criticized, shunned and belittled, she went on to conquer the world with the strength of character and the values that her parents had instilled in her.

She had always been keen to establish her own identity. She was a strong individual in her own right. Even when she became the first lady, she wanted to be known for something other than being the President’s wife. She assumed her role to pursue her very own crusade and proved her mettle by becoming one of the most eminent first ladies.

Michelle Obama is first and foremost, a mother. And she’s had an excellent example growing up. Her mother was someone who was always there in the background, fueling their ambitions and making sure they grew up as worthy human beings. She neither judged nor meddled. And she was also careful with her praises so that it didn’t become the reason her children did what they did.

Her parents didn’t invest in any material properties. Their Children were their only investment. They made sure their children got the best possible education. They even made sure that they finished their sentences and learnt proper English by teaching them to always refer to a dictionary at their home. One of the kids among her peer mocked Michelle for talking like an English girl, only because she spoke proper English, the way her parents had taught her to. That’s when they made sure her social circle became upgraded so that she won’t be mocked for being ambitious, but instead, will be appreciated for it.

This book showed that great world leaders are not born but are made in the laps of hard-working fathers and strong, kind and intelligent mothers.
