Summary
In this revealing and beautifully written memoir, Mark Obama Ndesandjo recounts his complex relationship with his older half brother, President Barack Obama, including their first meeting in Kenya over 20 years ago. The book also offers the author's inspiring personal story about identity and multiculturalism.
Rare family photos add to the book's personal nature, as does the intense recounting of domestic violence in the home of Barack Obama, Sr. and his third wife, Ruth Baker, Mark's Jewish-American mother. The book also attempts to set the record straight on several points of the president's best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father. In its connection to President Obama, Mark's story takes on an even greater significance because it becomes all the more directly a story of American identity and a window into the complex figure of the father they share, Barack Obama, Sr.; their roots in Kenya; their multicultural identities; and their relationships with America.
