The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

Beskrivelse

An inspiring account from Kamala Harris, the first woman and woman of color to become Vice President of the United States. This bestselling book explores the fundamental truths and shared values that bind us and guide our future.

A powerful reflection on unity, justice, and leadership from a trailblazing political figure.

Kamala Harris, known for giving a voice to those often unheard, is devoted to speaking honestly and standing for what is right. Growing up as the daughter of immigrants in a community deeply committed to social justice, she faced prejudice early on but never shied away from her passion for fairness.

Her career journey-from her start as a prosecutor to serving as California’s Attorney General and later as a U.S. Senator-has been defined by a compassionate yet evidence-based approach to difficult issues. Whether challenging powerful financial institutions or rejecting outdated "tough on crime" tactics, Harris developed a balanced philosophy: not simply tough or soft, but smart on crime.

Being smart means embracing the truths that help communities grow stronger and backing those truths with determination. Through her personal story, Harris shares a vision of collective struggle, shared purpose, and core values, while addressing pressing challenges facing America and the world. These include healthcare, the evolving economy, immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and rising inequality.

By confronting these major issues head-on, and drawing from her own experiences and the inspirations that have shaped her, Kamala Harris delivers a compelling guide to problem-solving, crisis leadership, and effective governance.
