The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama was only two years old when his father walked out on the family. Many years later, Obama receives a phone call from Nairobi: his father is dead. This sudden news inspires an emotional odyssey for Obama, determined to learn the truth of his fathers life and reconcile his divided inheritance. Written at the age of thirty-three, Dreams from my Father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obamas journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history, and what makes us the people we are.
A Book Worth Reading
This would have been a great book even if Obama hadnt been elected President.
Dreams from My Father is not political. Its the personal story of a confused and troubled youth growing up and becoming a man. The honesty is brutal, the insights painful and joyful in turn. This is one of those rare books that can help you become a better person.
I read the book through twice, repeatedly forgetting that it was written by the President of the United States. I cant think of a much higher compliment.
