Description:
From one of America’s most inspiring political leaders, a
book about the core truths that unite us, and the shared values that
will see us into the future.
Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, Senator Kamala Harris is
committed to speaking the truth. The daughter of immigrants, she was
raised in a community that cared deeply about social justice and,
growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for doing what is
right.
Throughout her career, from starting out as a prosecutor right up to her
position as California’s Attorney General, and now as a US Senator, her
hallmarks have been applying a holistic, data-driven approach to the
thorniest issues, whether it’s taking on the big banks or rejecting
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.
Through the arc of her own life, Harris communicates a vision of shared
struggle, shared purpose, and shared values and grapples with complex
issues that affect America and the world at large, 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, crisis
management, and leadership in challenging times.
