After reading this book, I have even more respect for Kamala Harris!! I knew a little about her before I read this book. In particular, I enjoyed reading about her relationship with her mother. Kamala Harris is a very smart & passionate person. Throughout her career, she has worked tremendously for those without a voice.

A well written account by a woman of incredible zeal and passion. She has already done more for the betterment of this country and mankind in general than most. Will she be our next President? If you read this book you might make an informed choice to elevate this amazing woman to the highest office. It’s up to us!

Kamala Harris has pulled together a very readable and valuable book about her growing up and professional lives. We get a good insight into her personal world as she shares stories about her parents and other family members, with many enjoyable photos. Lots about her years in multiple offices leading up to her current one as a member of the U. S. Senate, and candidate for U.S. VP in the upcoming election. She describes important issues she's faced with her teams, with many successes (and some frustrations), again with many interesting photos. I took many notes and plan to visit her book again -- it's that valuable.

An inspiring and personal journey from probably one of the most powerful women, leaders and politicians in the world day. May Kamala Harris strive to even greater heights.

I have just finished reading this wonderful memoir written by then Senator Kamala Harris. It begins with memories of her childhood, and takes the reader through the years she spent as an aspiring prosecuting attorney, district attorney, and the attorney general of California. There needs to be a sequel to enlighten us further about her days as a senator, presidential candidate, and finally as Joe Biden's running mate and vice-president-to-be. I especially appreciated her memories of the life-altering and mind-shaping events of her early career, the heartbreaking experiences she had trying to help sexually exploited teens, Californians faced with losing their homes and being cheated by big banks, and young people trying to overcome drug addiction and to start a new and much happier life. Kamala Harris talks at length about her convictions, which have evolved partially because of her Christian faith, and the truths she has learned from others and her experiences in life. Hence, the title of the book. She speaks of her travels to Israel, and her admiration for Israeli innovation and technological advances, especially in the field of water desalination. I recommend this book highly. Something so helpful, straightforward, and completely open deserves more than five stars.

If you only consume typical American media, you probably don’t know much about Vice President Kamala Harris aside from her supposedly low approval ratings. My advice: read this book, which the LA Times calls “a life story that genuinely entrances.” Don’t let the resentful sourpusses on Fox News poison your outlook about this great American woman, a compassionate trailblazer who throughout her life has put people first. And while you’re at it, don’t let the left wingers try to tell you she’s a “cop” or a overzealous former prosecutor. This is seriously the best three dollars and ninety-eight cents I ever spent — on Amazon or anywhere else.
