Former first lady Michelle Obama has written a memoir, and according to her publisher, it's out Nov. 13.

Penguin Random House said in a statement Sunday that the book, titled "Becoming," chronicles Obama's experiences, from her childhood in the South Side of Chicago, motherhood, work and, of course, her time as first lady. 

Obama tweeted Sunday: "Writing BECOMING has been a deeply personal experience. I talk about my roots and how a girl from the South Side found her voice. 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."
