Obama recently shared on Instagram how “excited” she is for the upcoming release, building on her 24-chapter memoir from 2018, which chronicles her upbringing in Chicago, her career as an attorney and follows her into motherhood and eventually her time in the White House with husband and former President Barack Obama. Notably, it sold more than 725,000 copies in North America upon release and overall sold 10 million copies worldwide, according to the Associated Press.
