Notes From Your Bookseller

Dreams from My Father, and an iconic speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, introduced our nation to a little-known Illinois state senator with an orator's lyrical soul. The Audacity of Hope then laid plain the expansive and compassionate goals he envisioned for his presidency. Few books have been as avidly anticipated as this autobiography, which offers us the promise of a grand and detailed story, as well as a poetic and gripping narrative. We are in awe of this arc of an unexpected life, a momentous and consequential presidency and the important lessons of past, present and future.

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy
