“As I prepare to share BECOMING this fall, I hope you’ll also think about your own story, and trust that it will help you become whoever you aspire to be,” the former first lady wrote on Twitter. “Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own. #BECOMING”

Obama was photographed by celebrity portrait photographer Miller Mobley, who photographed the president and first lady in 2014 for Parade magazine, according to a release by Penguin Random House. Makeup artist Carl Ray, stylist Meredith Koop and hair stylist Yene Damtew were a part of the shoot.
But can you judge this work by its cover? The publisher offers this tease, for the book, due out Nov. 13: “With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it — in her own words and on her own terms.”
