Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's New York Times bestselling book about the core truths that unite us and the shared values that will see us into the future.

The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was raised in a California community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as a political leader, her experiences would become her guiding light as she grappled with an array of complex issues and learned to bring a voice to the voiceless.

Now, in The Truths We Hold, Harris reckons 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, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values as we confront the great work of our day.

Listen & listen again…

This Book is open & honest in dealing with many issues and confronting many more but with kindness and understanding, then getting good long term results that are life changing….
Proof that bipartisan support is available on issues that have a genuine realisation that good people must work together….. I’m looking forward to her next book

Inspirational, informative and well read

Having decided to listen to this title, wanting to know more about the new Vice President, this title delivered so much more.
What an inspirational, well educated and balanced human, more than capable of true leadership.

Read like a campaign speech

It seemed as though this book was written by someone else or it had the flavour of a long campaign speech. It didn’t come across as personal, just a glossed over, sugar coated version of someone’s experiences but maybe the purpose wasn’t about being personable. It didn’t hold my attention and I didn’t make it past the first chapter.
