What Members Thought
The job of First Lady - which is essentially to dress well, attend public functions, support your husband, and perhaps take up a worthy cause or two - would be confining for anyone, much less a woman of Michelle Obama's abilities, drive, and accomplishments. Michelle had to give up a distinguished career in public service to help her spouse Barack Obama achieve his ambitions, and she (at least publicly) doesn't regret it.

Really great book. Enjoyed the audio version especially.
I listened to this book on Audible and was sad when it was over. It felt like Michelle was sitting beside me as I drove to and fro, telling me her stories. It was intimate and authentic. I honestly "missed" her company when the book ended.
