A remarkable history of First Lady Michelle ObamaΓÇÖs mixed ancestry, American Tapestry by Rachel L. Swarns is nothing less than a breathtaking and expansive portrait of America itself.

In this extraordinary feat of genealogical researchΓÇöin the tradition of The Hemmingses of Monticello and Slaves in the FamilyΓÇöauthor Swarns, a respected Washington-based reporter for the New York Times, tells the fascinating and hitherto untold story of Ms. ObamaΓÇÖs black, white, and multiracial ancestors; a history that the First Lady herself did not know.

At once epic, provocative, and inspiring, American Tapestry is more than a true family saga; it is an illuminating mirror in which we may all see ourselves.





From the Back Cover

Michelle Obama's family saga is a remarkable, quintessentially American storyΓÇöa journey from slavery to the White House in five generations. In this prodigiously researched epic, New York Times correspondent Rachel L. Swarns traces that complex and fascinating taleΓÇöfrom the men who fought in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, to the mothers and fathers who endured the horrors of slavery and the indignities of segregation to build a better future for their childrenΓÇöuncovering details about Mrs. Obama's black, white, and multiracial forebears that even the First Lady herself did not know.

Though an intimate family history, American Tapestry is also the collective chronicle of our changing nation, a beautifully rendered and singularly inspiring story with resonance for us all.
