A Singular Woman
Barack Obama has written extensively about his father, but little is known about Stanley Ann Dunham, the woman who raised him—and whom he credits for “what is best in me.” A Singular Woman, by award-winning reporter Janny Scott, finally gives us the missing piece of the story.
Beginning in a time when interracial marriage was still a felony in much of the country and culminating in Obama’s rise to the presidency, this biography not only reveals the full breadth of Dunham’s life, it also shares—for the first time—the many lessons she taught her son along the way. A major publishing event, it’s an unprecedented look at how Obama’s character was shaped by his unconventional mother…and by her extraordinary faith in his gifts.
