According to obamabook.com, in this stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office.

At last, a chocolate you can enjoy guilt-free! Good Girl Chocolate is unlike anything you have ever tasted. Good Girl Chocolate is gluten-free, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened. It will appeal to your sweet tooth, satisfy your chocolate craving, and as an added benefit, it is made with organic low glycemic sweeteners.
Dr. Tabatha Carr created Good Girl Chocolate because, like every other girl, she didn’t want to give up chocolate. After all, chocolate is a girl’s best friend. Dr. Tabatha struggled with her weight for years and was just 16 years old when she was first put on blood pressure pills. She ended up being a women’s size 20/22 in high school and was so ashamed of being on blood pressure pills, and weighing over 200 lbs at such a young age, that it greatly impacted her self-esteem and social life. Dr. Tabatha went up and down the weight ladder, trying every diet or weight loss fad in the world, but she just couldn’t shift the weight.
Dr. Tabatha’s revelation led her to create a chocolate worth craving that could also support her transformation. The name Good Girl Chocolate came from this idea of being able to eat some chocolate and still say “I’ve been good”! Now, Dr. Tabatha wants to share this chocolate with you and fuel your mind, body and spirit to give you the chocolate you dream of – without the guilt! Enjoy! www.goodgirlchocolate.com
