Jodi Kantor, The Obamas

Jodi Kantor, who covered the Obamas for The New York Times during the 2008 presidential campaign, will be at Books & Books to discuss her tell-all of the President and First Lady’s first years in office. In The Obamas, Jodi Kantor takes us deep inside the White House as they try to grapple with their new roles, change the country, raise children, maintain friendships, and figure out what it means to be the first black President and First Lady. Filled with riveting detail and insight into their partnership, emotions and personalities, and written with a keen eye for the ironies of public life, The Obamas is an intimate portrait that will surprise even readers who thought they knew the President and First Lady.
