Former First Lady Michelle Obama announced her "deeply personal" memoir, "Becoming," will hit shelves Nov. 13.
Obama, 54, revealed the work's title and release date on Twitter Sunday, and explained the book will track her rise from Chicago's South Side and chronicle everything leading up to and including her time in the White House.
"Writing BECOMING has been a deeply personal experience. I talk about my roots and how a girl from the South Side found her voice," she wrote. "I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can't wait to share my story."
The accompanying website describes "Becoming" as "warm, wise and revelatory… The deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations — and whose story inspires others to do the same."

Obama will embark on an international book tour closer to publication, and is slated to read the audiobook version.
Her book deal — along with husband Barack's — was announced by Penguin Random House in February 2017.
She previously penned a 2012 cookbook called "American Grown" that promoted healthy eating, a cause she championed as First Lady with the Let's Move! initiative to fight childhood obesity.
