Bestselling author Michelle Obama is set to release a new book called ‘The Light We Carry’ in November 2022.
According to a statement released by Penguin Random House this past week, ‘The Light We Carry,’ to be published on November 15th, 2022. The book will be published in 14 languages and the initial U.S. print run will be 2.75 million copies.
The book is about staying positive in challenging times, she said.
‘The Light We Carry’ will include some of Mrs. Obama’s approaches to those challenges, which include taking the high road, and encouragement for readers to work through their fear and find strength in the community.
“How do we overcome our fears?” Mrs. Obama said in a video announcement for the project. “How can we channel our frustration into something positive? And how do we rekindle that flame that’s inside each of us?”
Michelle Obama’s 2018 memoir, ‘Becoming,’ was one of the best-selling books of all time, with more than 17 million copies sold worldwide. Meanwhile, the first installment of Mr. Obama’s presidential memoirs, ‘A Promised Land,’ has sold more than 8 million units worldwide since its publication in 2020.
Mrs. Obama’s memoir brought readers on her journey from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her time as the first Black first lady. A New York Times notable book of the year, it has been translated into 50 languages. The audiobook version, which she narrated, won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album.
