About
the Book
From his childhood in Indonesia to his teenage
years in Hawaii, from his father’s homeland of Kenya to the halls of
Harvard Law School and, later, the South Side of Chicago, Barack Obama searched
for a place where he belonged. His search led him to the White House, where, as
president, he would fight for "the god-given promise that all are equal,
all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of
happiness." In elegant, cadenced language, award-winning author Carole
Boston Weatherford provides a biographical tribute to a citizen of the world who
journeyed from "Barry" to "Barack" to "Mr.
President" as he found, finally, the place where he belongs. Primary source
quotes from speeches are included
throughout.
