The Truths We Hold was written by Kamala Harris while she was a member of congress. The book is an interesting look into her personality, history, and politics. I would not call the book groundbreaking. It is interesting and a good read. 

 

I do not agree with everything that Harris wrote in this book. It would be unreasonable to think anyone’s views line up perfectly. However, even when I did not agree I respected Harris take on the situation. She is passionate, determined, and truly cares about her work. Most importantly she learned from a young age to sit back and look at situations critically. 

 

I honestly had no idea that she has only been in Congress for one term before running for president. I think she would be an amazing person to meet. I will gladly pick up her next book when it comes out at some undefined future point.
