About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Read the inspiring Sunday Times bestselling memoir from the first woman, and woman of colour, to serve as Vice President of the United States.

The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was raised in a California community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as a political leader, 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.

Now, in The Truths We Hold, Harris 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.

As possibly the next POTUS and a world leader I wanted to learn more about Kamala Harris, her credentials and philosophy.
She has demonstrated that she advocates to improve people’s lives. She is strong, articulate and intelligent along with having empathy and understanding.
This book makes enjoyable entertainment that I would listen to again.

Good information

This was a great insight into who Kamala Harris is, what is important to her and what she stands for. I didn’t know her until i heard what experiences she has had and what she felt and did about them. Autobiographical books always tell you the substance of the author even when they’re not trying to.

A woman with heart

I listened to this before the 2024 election. I was so impressed with Kamala's writing and narration. Her humanity and care for others came through loud and clear. Why would the US not elect someone like this instead of what they got? I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fabulous!
