Obama received $165,000 in 1990 as an advance from Simon & Schuster to write the book. No one needed to do it for "free". You say he was "little known" in Chicago. In January, 1995 six months before the book was published Ayers choose Obama to Chair the multi-million dollar Chicago Annenberg Challenge grants. He won a state senate election the following year so he clearly had his eyes on a political job. I would not deny that the book has Obama's voice and spirit. Given that Obama wrote nothing before Dreams I don't know if it is his writing.
