A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Valerie has been one of Barack and my closest confidantes for decades… the world would feel a lot better if there were more people like Valerie blazing the trail for the rest of us. –Michelle Obama

The ultimate Obama insider (The New York Times) shares her journey at a pivotal moment in American history

When Valerie Jarrett interviewed a promising young lawyer named Michelle Robinson in July 1991 for a job in Chicago city government, neither knew where that meeting might take them. Jarrett would go on to become a trusted friend and advisor to Michelle and Barack Obama – and one of the most visible, influential African-American women of the twenty-first century.

Now, in her forthright and optimistic memoir, Jarrett shares her experience as a mother, daughter, and woman who’s experienced the magic that happens once we cast aside any unrealistic expectations of a perfect life or a perfect outcome. In Finding My Voice, she offers a galvanizing testament to the power in staying open to a change in course and an embrace of the uncomfortable. Only then, she argues, can we move forward together and truly learn to value–and listen to–our own voices.
