Andersen, Christopher P.

New York, NY : HarperLuxe, c2009.

xiii, 487 p., (large print) [32] p. of plates : ill. ; 23 cm.

"Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage" is an intimate and ultimately riveting look at their unique -relationship, and the humor, faith, fortitude, and grace that define it. It is, above all, a uniquely American love story. Given the obvious historic significance of what they accomplished- together, the marriage of Barack and Michelle stands as one of the great personal and political partnerships in American history. Yet, incredibly, the true nature of the marriage remains a mystery. And now, for the first time, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources--some speaking here for the first time--to paint the first complete, compelling portrait of America's first black First Family.
