The Truths We Hold

A well-written memoir of the junior senator from California. I was particularly interested to read about her days as California’s attorney general. She stuck to her belief that the banks at the root of the mortgage crisis would–and should–pay more than they initially offered. They did, even though other states were willing to accept the lower offer. She’s a pragmatist who has worked hard for the people of California. I highly recommend reading this to get insight into Harris, whether she runs in 2020 or not!

3.5/5 stars a rating given solely for the quality of the book. This does not reflect my opinion about Kamala Harris, who I deeply respect and admire.

I felt that this was clearly a campaign book a book that was meant to hammer in Harris past accomplishments and policy/issue positions in light of her (likely) bid for presidency. And while learning about these things was interesting, I felt that it caused the book to lose the quality it could have had. Some ideas that could have resonated came off as being clichs and tried too hard to be meaningful metaphors, and I felt as though many of Kamalas points and ideas read like laundry lists bullet points that she needed to get down to convince us that she should be our president in 2020.

And again, I deeply respect and admire Senator Harris, but the quality of this book merited a 3.5 star ratin.

This book arrived on my porch this morning. I havent stopped reading it. The book reads like Kamala talks, except it has a tender underbelly that I havent heard from her before.
It tells her life story. She comes from parents who protested civil rights. She is herself a civil rights leader. She comes from a working class family. Excellent story telling. One thing I know for sure is she knows what truth and justice for all means.
I hope she runs for President. She would be the breath of fresh air we all need.
Excellent read. Read it. Believe it. There is hope in every page. Im a believer now.

Amazing read!!!!

I am reading Senator Kamala Harris book, The Truths We Hold An American Journey. Normally I would withhold commentary until I complete the book, except that I happened to see an article that criticized the Senator for seeing things through the eyes of a prosecutor. My friends, I want you to know that she is much, much more than that simple generalization. I am, through her book, meeting a woman that demonstrated not only the qualities of a tough prosecutor, but also, a visionary approach to being proactive in the job. That means that she routinely looks at the big picture and holds the leadership qualities that this country so desperately needs. Ill keep it short. There is so much more that could be said. Take the time to learn about Senator Kamala Harris. The Senator is reaching out to us at the national level, and we need this type of leadership to shine.
