Beautifully written account of Obama's life as a young man and his search for his place in the world. This is a book that has univeral appeal as we all travel this journey to find what gifts we are given and how we can use them. He thoroughly documents his years as a young boy in Hawaii and Indonesia, his days as a community organizer in Chicago and meeting his African family for the first time. I found it to be very thought-provoking as it brought out memories of my own journey through life and where it was different and not-so-different. Highly recommend this book.
