Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller
From Vice President Kamala Harris, one of America's most inspiring political leaders, comes a book about the core truths that unite us and how best to act upon them.
"A life story that genuinely entrances." —Los Angeles Times
“An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of [Harris’s] life...Revealing and even endearing.” —San Francisco Chronicle
The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President Kamala Harris was raised in an Oakland, California, community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as one of the political leaders of our time, 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.
In The Truths We Hold, she 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
California senator and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’ passion drives her autobiographical manifesto, which details her work to effect change in the justice system, first as a prosecutor and then as California’s attorney general. A first-generation American daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, Harris’ version of the American dream is both inclusive and positive. She sounds down-to-earth and relatable throughout—at one point she confesses that she ate an entire bag of chips the night Donald Trump was elected. But The Truths We Hold is also interesting in examining our nation’s shared beliefs and fundamental disagreements.

Moving
This audiobook really gives voice to Harris’s motivations, career, and common criticisms thrown at her. Very good for getting an intro into who she is.
She’s a power woman
It is a great book, I can’t wrap my head around how we end up with the current administration in the White House while we have leaders like her. Qualified, educated, morally and ethically fit. Democrat or republican everyone should read before voting.
Excellent book
Smart woman. Smart book. Touching and personal. Star quality!!
