Becoming
Michelle Obama, 2018
The former First Lady's own account of growing up on Chicago's South Side, building a career, a marriage and a public life—in a clear-eyed, unhurried voice.
Michelle Obama
Her family shared a crowded second-floor Chicago bungalow, and she slept in a living room that was carved in two with a curtain.
Feels like identity, ambition and hope.
Grief does not stay at the graveside; it follows you to the fridge.
It hurts to live after someone has died. It just does. It can hurt to walk down a hallway or open the fridge. It hurts to put on a pair of socks, to brush your teeth. Food tastes like nothing. Colors go flat. Music hurts, and so do memories. You look at something you’d otherwise find beautiful—a purple sky at sunset or a playground full of kids—and it only somehow deepens the loss. Grief is so lonely this way. Books by Michelle Obama
