Simply wonderful
There are no excuses. There's no boasting. Certainly no whining or self-pity, none of the things that could ruin the purity of this gem. Michelle tells her story, honestly and earnestly, and it's fascinating in its simplicity and in its richness.

Just got done a couple of weeks ago listening to the audiobook. It was my 1st one. And Becoming was definitely a good place to start.

Becoming is a beautiful book, like you are sitting with her in her living room, while she reminisces about life. I prefer high action escapist fiction, but Michelle is such an eloquent writer and speaker, it's hard not to fall in love with her story. If you're looking for something similar while you explore audio books as a new medium, I'd suggest A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership and Fascism: A Warning. Both are excellent books, full of insight and tragedy, telling genuine stories of life and strife.

Donna, you nailed it! This is such a no-nonsense, no frills, truly inspirational book.
