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.
