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.

Critic Reviews

"A fascinating insight into a remarkable career." (Clare Fulton)
All stars
Most relevant
Kamala is articulate, educated, thoughtful and thought provoking. She has worked important jobs in some of America's most prestigious legal and political institutions. I cannot say I agree with everything she has to say, but she argues her views using logic and factual evidence - which seems so much to be lacking in current American political discourse where fatuous claims have replaced facts in large part. A brilliant listen! You won't be disappointed.

A revealing and interesting audiobook

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.
