Written before he became president, this is a very personal journey about finding identity and understanding our personal history. An interesting insight in to the man now known as “the leader of the free world”. The fact that Obama reads this himself adds another charm to this story of a journey of discovery.
The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama was only two years old when his father walked out on the family. Many years later, Obama receives a phone call from Nairobi: his father is dead. This sudden news inspires an emotional odyssey for Obama, determined to learn the truth of his father's life and reconcile his divided inheritance.
Written at the age of thirty-three, Dreams from my Father is an unforgettable read. it illuminates not only Obama's journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history, and what makes us the people we are.
