An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir; 17 million copies sold worldwide. The number one bestseller - and the book we will gift to every family member and friend this Christmas! Now available in paperback with a new introduction by Michelle Obama, a letter from the author to her younger self, and a book club guide featuring 20 discussion questions and a 5-question Q&A, this is the intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir of the former First Lady of the United States.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and captivating storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world and recounts the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as a leader balancing the demands of motherhood and career, to her time at the most famous address in the world. With unwavering honesty and vivid humor, she describes her triumphs and disappointments, both public and private, and tells her complete story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.

Warm, wise, and insightful, "Becoming" is the deeply personal confession of a woman with soul and substance who consistently defies expectations - and whose story inspires us to do the same. Michelle Obama's next book, "The Light We Carry," is now available.
