Plot Summary
Michelle Robinson grew up on the South Side of Chicago with her parents and older brother, Craig, in her great-aunt and -uncle’s house. In the section of the memoir that discusses her childhood, Michelle highlights her relationship with her parents—in particular, she crafts a tender portrait of her father, who worked relentlessly at a job he did not enjoy and suffered from multiple sclerosis. Michelle’s respect for and appreciation of the sacrifices her parents made and the values they instilled in her emanate off of the page. In this section, Michelle also reflects upon her time at Princeton University. While there, she found a group of friends that proved invaluable in her college journey and helped her to feel comfortable at this mostly White institution. Michelle graduated from Princeton and went on to attend Harvard Law School. Armed with her prestigious law degree, she returned to Chicago and worked for the firm Sidley & Austin. A year into this position, Michelle began mentoring an associate named Barack Obama.
Michelle and Barack began dating, and Barack returned to Harvard to finish his degree. While he continued his studies, Michelle faced several hardships: she realized that she felt unfulfilled in her current job and lost both her college friend Suzanne and her father—the former to cancer and the latter to a heart attack. Michelle began working at city hall, and Barack returned to Chicago to finish his studies; he proposed to Michelle on the day of his bar exam, and she accepted. They were married in 1992.
Following her passion for helping and inspiring younger generations, Michelle began working for a group called Public Allies, where she helped young people find work in nonprofit companies. She then changed jobs once more and became an associate dean at the University of Chicago. Barack wrote a book and won a position as a senator in the Illinois Senate. Michelle and Barack’s work and home lives became more crowded as they began a family; after struggling with infertility and a miscarriage, they welcomed their first daughter, Malia, in 1998 and their second daughter, Sasha, in 2001.
