"Riveting . . . American Tapestry is not only the remarkable story of the [Michelle Obama's] family, but also a microcosm of this country's story as well" (USA Today).

In an extraordinary feat of genealogical research, Rachel L. Swarns—a veteran journalist and renowned scholar of American race relations—tells the fascinating and hitherto untold story of Ms. Obama's black, white, and multiracial ancestors; a history that the First Lady herself did not know. At once epic, provocative, and inspiring, American Tapestry is more than a true family saga; it is an illuminating mirror in which we may all see ourselves.

"The First Family becomes ever more fascinating—and ever more representative of the nation as a whole—in Rachel Swarns's terrific investigation into the roots of Michelle Obama . . . This is a most compelling read and more evidence for our interconnectedness as a people." —Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

"A fascinating account of the First Lady's family . . . Few important women come from such raw places. The book makes you remember why the Obamas . . . seemed so new, so implausible . . . Extraordinary." —The New York Times

Industry Reviews
"Extraordinary. . . . A fascinating account of the First Lady's family. . . . No political [book] has ever looked like this one."
