NOTE: THE GROUP WILL MEET IN THE COLOPHON CAFE TONITE TO ACCOMMODATE AN AUTHOR EVENT IN THE READINGS GALLERY Dreams from my Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance President Obama, the son of a white American mother and a black African father, writes an elegant and compelling biography that powerfully articulates America's racial battleground and tells of his search for his place in black America. Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream Written when he was a Senator, now-President Obama offers a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to the Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans.
