The book The Truths We Hold was written by Kamala Harris and published in 2019. It is her political memoir, which is unusual enough on many scores. She is the first woman of Indian or Jamaican descent to serve in the American Senate and the first African-American senator from California. She is now an attorney general of California.
Harris was born in Oakland of mixed descent from an Indian immigrant mother and an African father. Her mother inspired her life very much. She was aware of the fact of raising two black daughters in a white-dominant society is not easy. She faced a lot of discrimination and fought against it so that her daughter won't meet the same fate. She raised them as the two proud and confident black women. The first shock in Harris's life was when she failed her first effort at the bar, but nothing in life was able to hold her back.
The writer tells how becoming a democrat and working for people gave her life a new meaning. She speaks about policy wonk issues, economic inequality between men and women, and social impartiality. She enthusiastically addresses all these issues. Her vision for changing the United States into a progressive society awakes many to question on critical matters regarding politics. The book tells how this progressive and positive woman overcame from inabilities and became an embodiment of the future of America.
