Michelle Obama will have a book out this autumn, The Light We Carry, in which she reflects upon her experiences and shares insights on navigating an increasingly stressful world.

It is the former first lady’s first entirely new work since the 2018 release of her acclaimed blockbuster Becoming, which has sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, surpassing the sales of any memoir by a previous first lady or modern president, including her husband, former President Barack Obama.
