A PROMISED LAND - Barack Obama
~ Standard Hardcover
~ Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Memoir & Autobiography - 2020, the NAACP Image Award for Nonfiction - 2021, Audie Award for Narration by Author - 2022
An extraordinarily intimate and introspective story, A Promised Land tells of one man’s bet with history and the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Candidly writing about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal his self-doubt and disappointment, Barack Obama never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
A beautifully written and powerful book, A Promised Land captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.
“To a remarkable degree, the style of this latest retelling reflects the man we have seen: orderly, cautious, and self-examining, yet eloquent in flashes so vivid that the world is immediately able to share something of his vision.” -- NPR
