I Lyset i os alle – At finde håb og styrke i svære tider går hun i en åben og ærlig dialog med læserne og reflekterer over de spørgsmål, mange af os kæmper med: Hvordan opbygger vi holdbare og ærlige forhold? Hvordan kan vi finde styrke og fællesskab i vores forskelligheder? Hvilke redskaber kan vi bruge til at tackle følelser som tvivl eller hjælpeløshed? Hvad gør vi, når det hele føles for overvældende? Michelle Obama deler indsigtsfulde overvejelser om forandringer, udfordringer og styrker. Om sin tro på, at vi, når vi tænder lys for andre, samtidig kaster lys på rigdommen og potentialet i verden omkring os og opdager dybere sandheder og nye veje til fremskridt. Hun trækker på sine erfaringer som mor, datter, ægtefælle, ven og præsidentfrue og giver de strategier videre, hun selv bruger, når hun står over for forandringer og skal overvinde forhindringer. De praktiske erfaringer, som hjælper hende med at fortsætte med at ”blive til”. Hun uddyber, hvordan hun konkret arbejder med de metoder, der udvikler hende – som for eksempel at ”begynde med venlighed”, ”hæve niveauet” og at samle en gruppe venner og rådgivere omkring sig, som hun har tillid til. Med sin vanlige humor, åbenhed og medfølelse udforsker hun også emner som race, køn og synlighed og opmuntrer læserne til at arbejde sig igennem frygt, finde styrke i fællesskaber og være modige. ”Hvis du kender din egen kilde til lys, bliver du også i stand til at bruge det. Ét lys nærer et andet,” skriver Michelle Obama. Lyset i os alle er en gavmild blanding af stærke historier og dybsindige råd, som kan sætte samtaler i gang og inspirere læserne til at granske deres egne liv og finde frem til, hvad der giver dem glæde – og skabe meningsfulde relationer i en usikker verden.

They would be the first Black First Family in the White House and serve the country for two terms.

Yhdysvaltojen entisen ensimmäisen naisen intiimit, vaikuttavat ja inspiroivat muistelmatVaikutusvaltansa ja saavutustensa johdosta Michelle Obamasta on tullut yksi aikamme ikonisimmista naisista. Yhdysvaltain presidentin puolisona - ensimmäisenä afroamerikkalaisena - hän kehitti Valkoista taloa aiempaa lämminhenkisemmäksi ja tasapuolisemmaksi paikaksi ja puhui vahvasti myös naisten ja tyttöjen puolesta. Pohdiskelevissa ja kiehtovissa muistelmissaan Michelle Obama avaa elämäänsä ja kertoo kehityksestään: lapsuudesta Chicagon eteläosassa, työskentelystään johtotehtävissä ja tasapainoilusta äitiyden ja työn asettamien vaatimusten välillä sekä vuosista maailman kuuluisimmassa talossa.
