LIGHT WE CARRY , THE - Viking *Hardback*

The powerful, insightful follow-up to the critically acclaimed, multi-
million #1 bestselling memoir Becoming

In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers,
considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring
and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside
our differences? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much? Michelle
Obama believes that we can all lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate
change and remain steady within flux.

The Light We Carry offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful
reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we
light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world
around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing
from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she
shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully overcome
various obstacles-the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become."
With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues
connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through
fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness. A rewarding blend of
powerful stories and profound advice, The Light We Carry will inspire readers to
examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect
meaningfully in a turbulent world.
