Summary:
Recounts how Michelle Robinson, who came from a modest neighborhood in Chicago, became a Harvard-educated lawyer and the wife of Barack Obama, and describes her role in his rise to the presidency.
In just a few generations, Michelle Obama's family has blazed a path from a slave cabin to the White House. She's now writing a new chapter in history as a fresh kind of first lady, old-fashioned in many ways, yet so genuine and natural that she constantly surprises and inspires.
