"The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past. " - Barack Obama
His soul searching journey begins in New York, where he finds out that his long-lost father died in a car accident, and ends in Kenya where he learns the mystery of his father's life. However, this book can't be seen as a sad story because it also talks about the reconciliation of the two sides of his family and the journey he took to become the man he is today, the former president of the most powerful nation in the world.
