President Obama Takes Warmth for Vacation Reading

"The Warmth of Other Suns is a beautifully written book that, once begun, is nearly impossible to put aside. It is an unforgettable combination of tragedy and inspiration, and gripping subject matter and characters in a writing style that grabs the reader on Page 1 and never let’s go…. If you read one only one book about history this year, read this. If you read only one book about African Americans this year, read this. If you read only one book this year, read this.”
