Becoming was such an inspiring read. Michelle has such a beautiful way with words. You can tell that each word comes from an authentic and genuine place. Michelle has experienced so much throughout her life and yet remains incredibly humble. She approached each situation and topic in this book with love and kindness, and that’s very admirable. If you are a fan of memoirs, I would definitely recommend this book. Get your copy of Becoming on Amazon today.
