Barack Obama’s half-brother George Obama, the youngest of the senior Obama’s seven children and a President of Huruma, Kenya, will write a memoir under a new deal with publisher Simon & Schuster. According to ABC News, Barack Obama\’s half-brother George Obama, the youngest of the senior Obama\’s seven children and a President of Huruma, Kenya, will write a memoir under a new deal with publisher Simon & Schuster. 

President Obama met his half-brother George during a 1987 visit to Kenya.

“I took comfort in the fact that perhaps one day, when he was older, George, too, might want to know who his father had been, and who his brothers and sisters were, and that if he ever came to me I would be there for him, to tell him the story I knew,” the president wrote in “Dreams From My Father.”

Over the weekend David Rosenthal, the publisher and executive vice president of Simon & Schuster, told the Associated Press that George had signed a book deal of his own.

“Even had George Obama not been our President’s half brother, his story is moving and inspirational,” Rosenthal said. “It is an object lesson in survival, selflessness and courage.”

George is one of President Obama’s eight half-siblings.
