Summary
About the author
About the narrator

A Washington Post bestseller, Power Forward is a compelling professional coming-of-age story from the man who spent more time with Barack Obama during his historic first presidential campaign and term than anyone else.

Reggie Love is a unique witness to history, whose introduction to Washington was working in Junior Senator Barack Obama’s mailroom. As President Obama’s personal aide during that momentous first term, Love sat yards from the Oval Office and often spent more time with the President than anyone else.

In this professional coming-of-age story like no other, Love details the unique and universal lessons learned during his tenure with the President: persistence, responsibility, passion for a cause greater than yourself. In short, maturity.

Power Forward tells how Love’s experiences growing up, from being Obama’s “body man” to playing as captain on the beloved Duke basketball team under Coach Kryzewski.
