Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

The most fascinating points of this book are the details of Obama's family structure and his coming of age and awareness of his roots. I love how the narrative depicts a learning process and maturation. What I find most appealing about this man (as candidate or as writer) is his earnestness. Despite his sophistication, I really believe that he operates out of a genuine hope and desire to bring people together, to reconcile diverse viewpoints. Obviously, his background makes him uniquely suited to do this.
