In ihren leidenschaftlichen und eindringlichen Abschiedsreden richten sich Barack und Michelle Obama an ihr Land und die ganze Welt. Sie sprechen an, worauf es ankommt im Leben und in der Politik und warum wir auch in schwierigen Zeiten Grund zur Hoffnung haben. Und Sie fordern uns auf, unsere Werte, Pflichten und Chancen als Bürger nie aus den Augen zu verlieren. Freiheit, Demokratie, Offenheit, Gerechtigkeit und Bildung für alle – dies alles macht eine funktionierende Gesellschaft aus. Doch wir müssen uns täglich dafür engagieren! Dann erst können wir einzelne Dinge und ein ganzes Land zum Besseren ändern.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The former First Lady, author of Becoming, and producer and star of Waffles + Mochi tells the inspirational story of the White House Kitchen Garden and how gardens can transform our lives and the health of our communities. Early in her tenure as First Lady, despite being a novice gardener, Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden on the White House’s South Lawn. To her delight, she watched as fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground. Soon the White House Kitchen Garden inspired a new conversation all across the country about the food we feed our families and the impact it has on the nutrition and well-being of our children. In American Grown, Mrs. Obama invites you inside the White House Kitchen Garden, from the first planting to the satisfaction of the seasonal harvest. She reveals her early worries and struggles—would the new plants even grow?—and her joy as lettuce, corn, tomatoes, collards and kale, sweet potatoes and rhubarb flourished in the freshly tilled soil. She shares the stories of other gardens that have moved and inspired her on her journey across the nation. And she offers what she learned about planting your own backyard, school, or community garden. American Grown features: • a behind-the-scenes look at every season of the garden’s growth • unique recipes created by White House chefs • striking original photographs that bring the White House garden to life • a fascinating history of community gardens in the United States From a modern-day vegetable truck that brings fresh produce to underserved communities in Chicago, to Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom, to a New York City school that created a scented garden for the visually impaired, to a garden in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that devotes its entire harvest to those less fortunate, American Grown isn’t just the story of a single garden. It’s a celebration of the bounty of our nation and a reminder of what we can all grow together.

The election of Barack Obama has brought worldwide attention not only to what his policies will be, but to what kind of First Lady Michelle Obama will be.

One clue is to examine her words and statements of the past, and the proposed book Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will show readers who are eager to learn more about America''s new history-making First Lady. Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will be a book that contains 200-250 quotations arranged in approximately 75 different categories. A short introduction and biography of the new First Lady will precede the quotes. Drawing on quotations from a variety of newspaper and magazine articles, transcripts, speeches, and TV interviews and profiles, the quotations date from Michelle''s career as a high-powered corporate lawyer in Chicago and her high-powered executive jobs in the Chicago Mayor''s office and at the University of Chicago, up through the election of November 5th, 2008.

“Ánh sáng trong ta” được đúc kết từ những trải nghiệm của Michelle Obama với tư cách là một người mẹ, người con gái, người vợ, người bạn và Đệ nhất Phu nhân. Trên những trang sách, bà không ngại thừa nhận những lúc yếu lòng, những khi thấy bản thân không đủ giỏi, không đủ mạnh mẽ – và cũng chính từ đó, bà cho thấy sức mạnh thật sự thông qua việc dám nhìn thẳng vào nỗi sợ của chính mình. Đồng thời, bà cũng chia sẻ những thói quen cũng như nguyên tắc mà bà đã phát triển để thích ứng với sự thay đổi và vượt qua những trở ngại khác nhau. Tuy nhiên, “Ánh sáng trong ta” không dừng lại ở những câu chuyện cá nhân mà còn chạm đến những vấn đề mang tính toàn cầu và sâu xa hơn: chủng tộc, giới tính, sức khỏe tinh thần và vai trò của mỗi cá nhân trong xã hội ngày nay. Bà cũng cổ vũ mọi người hãy can đảm sống thật, kết nối sâu và tiếp tục duy trì cũng như phát triển nguồn ánh sáng nội tâm, để từ đó tạo ra những thay đổi ý nghĩa cho thế giới. Kết hợp giữa những câu chuyện thực tế và những lời khuyên sâu sắc, “Ánh sáng trong ta” không chỉ dành cho những ai đang loay hoay giữa ngã rẽ cuộc đời mà còn truyền cảm hứng cho chúng ta nhìn lại chính mình, từ đó tạo ra những thay đổi nhỏ để điều chỉnh cuộc sống theo hướng tốt hơn.
