Michelle Obama's Memoir 'Becoming' To Be Out In November

Michelle Obama’s memoir 'Becoming' will finally be out on November 13. It is one of the most highly anticipated books in recent years.

The former US first lady tweeted on Sunday (Feb 25) that the book is called “Becoming”. By Sunday night, her memoir was in the top 20 on Amazon.com.

“Writing ‘Becoming’ has been a deeply personal experience,” Michelle Obama said in a statement. “It has allowed me, for the very first time, the space to honestly reflect on the unexpected trajectory of my life. In this book, I talk about my roots and how a little girl from the South Side of Chicago found her voice and developed the strength to use it to empower others."

"I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can’t wait to share my story,” she said.
