Michelle Obama announces six-city book tour for ‘The Light We Carry,’ Atlanta on the list
The former first lady is hitting the road this fall.
It’s almost tour time for Michelle Obama, as she promotes her new book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming In Uncertain Times.” In a social media post, Obama made the tour announcement, where she revealed that she’ll be visiting six cities in November and December.
So let’s talk tickets. Fans can register for “Verified Fan” presale tickets between now and Monday, Sept. 26. Anyone who pre-registers will be able to buy tickets (on a first-come, first-served basis) on Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. The remaining tickets for the general public will be available for purchase on Friday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. “This book means so much to me — it’s a collection of perspectives and practices I’ve used to keep me afloat amid uncertainty,” Obama said. “On this tour, I’ll be sharing some personal stories and lessons that have helped me along my path, and I can’t wait to tell you more.”
Obama is no stranger to the best-seller’s list — her last book, “Becoming,” sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, making it the most popular book in modern times written by a former White House resident.
