An American Journey

De: Kamala Harris

Narrado por: Kamala Harris

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her acclaimed memoir, former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivers “a life story that genuinely entrances” (Los Angeles Times) as she looks back on how she was shaped by the core truths that unite us.

“An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of [Harris’s] life—most of all, her mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris, Ph.D., a breast cancer researcher . . . 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Its most memorable moments are those personal touches: Harris’s recollections of family, friendships and, above all, of her late mother, an Indian immigrant and cancer researcher who raised Harris and her younger sister . . . instructive for anyone trying to imagine a Vice President Harris.” —Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post

"A life story that genuinely entrances." —Los Angeles Times

“An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of Harris’s life.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“In an era when many of our current political memoirs are either looking back at the Obama years or are attempting to grapple with our current state of government unrest, it is exciting to see a highly respected and powerful woman of color and daughter of immigrants tell her own story and offer some hope for the future of our country.” —Bustle

This book is a WOW.

As I have been watching what’s going on in the politics of this republic, it’s time to consider the candidates for president and their vision for this nation. We need to choose very wisely this time. There is too much on the line! So I’m reading the books from all the major candidates to see what each one values, what they’ve done, what vision they have for the nation, and how well they can articulate that vision.

I have not finished my reading, but I will say that Kamala Harris’ path, her accomplishments, her experiences, and her vision for the future are all really impressive. This is a grown up woman! She’s held some pretty impressive positions and has accomplished much! This book is not overly long, but is well worth your time. It has given me a whole new impression of her values, her intellect, her passions and her vision for the future.

Purely Inspiring!

Senator Harris tells an inspiring and heart-warming story of her life growing up in Northern California with two very educated and impressive parents. Her personal stories, along with tales of her career experiences and her views on our society make for a very interesting listing experience. As with so many audible books, I really enjoy hearing the author themselves read.

Truth be Told

Excellently written book narrated by author into her insights and beliefs as she navigated her distinguished career to become a United States Senator.
Lots of great ideas if tested could prove to enhance the lives of millions of Americans positively for many generations to come. The senator definitely has a passion to help people live theirbest lives, and has proven she will work hard to achieve hers goals to that end. Very impressed by her intelligence and work ethic.

I never knew Kamala Harris had accomplished so much in other offices before becoming vice president.

Enjoyed this book. Helped me to gain a much better understanding of the life and work of our vice president.

Very political in search for supporters

if you are in search how socialism can be beautifully described, you will like this book. if you want to learn about Mis Harris's political agenda, you will learn. You can even glance into her as a human being, but you'd have to do a lot of deduction. I do not know what's worse: the fact that she thinks that she has never been wrong, or she chose not to admit it.
