The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama’s new book, The Light We Carry, is part self help and part memoir. It reflects a trend in celebrity memoirs where personal life stories are told partly to give advice to others who might be facing similar challenges—and we are certainly all living in “uncertain times.” The publisher has revealed little about the book, but if her previous memoir, Becoming, is anything to go by, The Light We Carry will hopefully be insightful, engagingly written and funny. As with Becoming, Obama has narrated the audiobook herself.
