Now adapted for young adults, this memoir offers an intimate look at Barack Obama's early days. The son of a Black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a Black American. Obama retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

Young adult adaptation of: Dreams from my father : a story of race and inheritance.
