What a more fitting time to read this than now. 

Let me quickly state why I docked this .75 stars. For me, although I did very much enjoy it, it was dense and took my a while to get from cover to cover. I did want to push through because I enjoyed it, however she does cover a lot of things in great detail, so make sure this is your focus read if you tend to read multiple books at a time. 

Anyway, I am in awe of her story. Not just the big things, but all the things collectively that built her strength and perseverance. It was an intimate chance to get to know a woman who affected my life in that I was in school when she advocated for more balanced lunches and it’s an initiative that I’m glad has stuck all these years. It is also interesting to have seen the presidential years from the perspective of the First Lady because we don’t hear much from presidential partners much in general. I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone!
