Michelle Obama's book

First let me wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year!

I am not a big reader, partly from time constraints but mainly from upbringing. I am also not big on celebrity-ism, it makes me run in the opposite direction.
Fortuately, I recieved Michelle Obama's new book "Becoming" for Christmas and I happened to be  in St. Lucia with nothing but time,  and beautiful weather.  As I endeavored to look like all the other readers stretched out on the sand I dug into my book. I am so glad I did.  This book is a masterpiece.

Michelle writes really well, the book just flows.  Most importantly it is relatable. It is authentic and very human.

I found myself relating to her story more than I could ever have imagined. Yes, she was a black woman at Princeton and I was a black woman at Harvard but it is so much more than that. Our childhoods were spent on different sides of the globe, yet I felt like she was telling my story.
I recognize a lot of the people in the book, I feel like I know them.
Likewise her experiences and tenacious determination. It is amazing how similar the human experience is all over the globe.

If you are a member of a book club that is reading "Becoming" please let me know. Or maybe we could start our own :).
If you haven't read this book yet, do so, you wont be disappointed. I give it 5 stars!
