A New York Times bestseller

From Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, one of America's most inspiring political leaders, a book about the core truths that unite us, and the long struggle to discern what those truths are and how best to act upon them, in her own life and across the life of our country


Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris's commitment to speaking truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California community that cared deeply about social justice; her parents--an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired cancer researcher from India--met as activists in the civil rights movement when they were graduate students at Berkeley. Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly established herself as one of the most innovative change agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco, and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California as a whole. Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, she took on the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for California's working families. Her hallmarks were applying a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California's thorniest issues, always eschewing stale "tough on crime" rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither "tough" nor "soft" but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. That has been the pole star that guided Harris to a transformational career as California’s attorney general, as a United States senator, and now as vice president-elect, grappling in every role with an array of complex issues, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality.

By reckoning with the big challenges we face together, drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, Kamala Harris offers in THE TRUTHS WE HOLD a master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times. Through the arc of her own life, on into the great work of our day, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values. In a book rich in many home truths, not least is that a relatively small number of people work very hard to convince a great many of us that we have less in common than we actually do, but it falls to us to look past them and get on with the good work of living our common truth. When we do, our shared effort will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years to come.

Madam President. An insightful look into the life of a future President. In particular, it addressed many criticisms about her decisions while serving as AG and DA, and why she chose to tackle them as she did. A fantastic read.

SDWill

Remarkable. A truly remarkable yet utterly American story. A must read for people interested in substance over sound bites.

The Truths We Hold. “The Truths We Hold” reads like an extended Christmas newsletter. Senator Harris’ kind even reverent words about Earl Warren reminds me of a time when politicians of both parties buckled down and governed between elections. She wrote of cities and neighborhoods throughout California in ways that were familiar to me. Senator Harris took me on a journey of learning and personal .

Overall review. Overall i’d say this book is very informative of her up bringing, political views and the work she has done as D.A, A.G, and now senator of California. 3 stars because some parts were kind of boring. #KamalaHarris2020

Growth is Knowledge

Don’t Let the Reviews Sway You. People who have IQ above 70 should be able to listen or read with an objective opinion. If you are reading the reviews and want to have a broader perspective on the world, I say go for it.

Painful. The ultimate chameleon. I could not finish this snooze festival. Yes, I did try to read it but it was too mindless. Learning anything truthful about her seems impossible. Total waste of time and money.

Mr. Male

Disappointed. Appears to try and whitewash her history of privilege and her aggressive win-at-all-costs approach to politics. Was hoping she was more about the truths she holds and her values. Not worth the read - sorry (really wanted to like this one).

Poor. I really tried to read this piece of garbage. It did make a great liner for the cat box🤣

Inspiring. Kamala Harris is an inspirational leader who demonstrates a life led by empathy, conviction, and persistence. Her path was not given to her, she worked (and worked hard) to achieve her successes. Very inspiring person of whom much more can be expected. Her writing is witty, personable, and lucid.

Kamala Harris. Read the Kamala views, disappointing but her energy is youthful, a great mistress, she talks and laughs and we don’t and we shutter.

Yes Prog Rock

Wow. She is just not too intelligent. God help us all!
