A Singular Woman by Janny Scott
Barack Obama has written extensively about his father in the bestselling Dreams from my Father (Canongate, 2008) but credited his mother for 'what is best in me'. Yet little is known about this fiercly indpendent, spirited woman who raised the man who would become the first biracial president of the United States. A Singular Woman is a dedicated and comprehensive account of a truly inspirational woman. Janny Scott provides an illuminating look at someone who was not afraid to break the rules of her time, showing how her fierce example helped influence the President.
