520    "When Valerie Jarrett interviewed a promising young lawyer
       named Michelle Robinson in July 1991 for a job in Chicago 
       city government, neither knew that it was the first step 
       on a path that would end in the White House. Jarrett soon 
       became Michelle and Barack Obama's trusted personal 
       adviser and family confidante; in the White House, she was
       known as the one who "got" him and helped him engage his 
       public life. Jarrett joined the White House team on 
       January 20, 2009 and departed with the First Family on 
       January 20, 2017, and she was in the room--in the Oval 
       Office, on Air Force One, and everywhere else--when it all
       happened. No one has as intimate a view of the Obama Years,
       nor one that reaches back as many decades, as Jarrett 
       shares in Finding My Voice. Born in Iran (where her father,
       a doctor, sought a better job than he could find in 
       segregated America), Jarrett grew up in Chicago in the 60s
       as racial and gender barriers were being challenged. A 
       single mother stagnating in corporate law, she found her 
       voice in Harold Washington's historic administration, 
       where she began a remarkable journey, ultimately becoming 
       one of the most visible and influential African-American 
       women of the twenty-first century. From her work ensuring 
       equality for women and girls, advancing civil rights, 
       reforming our criminal justice system, and improving the 
       lives of working families, to the real stories behind some
       of the most stirring moments of the Obama presidency, 
       Jarrett shares her forthright, optimistic perspective on 
       the importance of leadership and the responsibilities of 
       citizenship in the twenty-first century, inspiring readers
       to lift their own voices."--Provided by publisher.
