The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times
by Michelle Obama
Enjoyed it, but I had high expectations after reading Becoming and this didn’t live up to it at all. Michelle Obama provides some insightful thoughts and teachings she’s learned in her 60 years of living. From raising 2 kids, being first lady, being a Black woman and lawyer, and surviving a pandemic and the loss of her father, Michelle has not only endured a lot, but soared in spite of it. However, this book was way to self-help for me. Maybe my expectations and the fact that I’m in a reading slump didn’t align with this book, but I was disappointed. I wanted gossip, not a story about how knitting helped her survive the pandemic. Beautifully written, (thank you, ghostwriter) but not as interesting as her first book.
