The Truths We Hold: An American Journey by Kamala Harris

3.0

I was expecting more of a personal memoir and this felt like a resume in book format. It was probably published during or in anticipation of her run for president, so it’s written in a way that highlights all her achievements. There is a lot of mention of her mother and how she impacted her life, which I enjoyed reading about. However, working in the nonprofit legal world for a long time, I already am aware of much of the content in this book, so it felt too work-related for me. But now that Kamala Harris will be our VP, I did appreciate learning more about her political viewpoints and her fierce, tough, and persistent demeanor. Based on what I read in this book, she is going to be pushing very hard to accomplish things over the next four years.
