This is the fourth campaign bio I’ve read so far this season. I can’t honestly say it is one of the most well-written or compelling, but Castro’s candor is refreshing and his life journey has been extraordinary, however matter of fact his tone is sometimes. The book traces his childhood as one of the twin sons of a single mother, raised part-time by his Mexican grandmother who never stopped crying about the fact that her education was cut short. Julian and Joaquin Castro became determined to excel in their school careers, applying only to Ivy League schools without a thought about how they’d pay for them. His story is short and remarkable for his determination to succeed at public service. At 30 he was Mayor of San Antonio and a few years later, Pres. Obama’s HUD Secretary. Watch him go; I have no doubt there’s more to come.
