Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was a nice, almost intimate telling of how Barack Obama grew into the man that would eventually become a US Senator and then President. How he explores what it means to him to be bi-racial, being raised by a single mother and his grandparents. How he determines what he wants to do with his life to make the world (be it the neighborhood, the city, the state, the country or the globe) even just a bit better.

I enjoyed it and am glad I listened to his story as it helped me to respect him even more.
