The truths we hold : an American journey / by Harris, Kamala D.,author.;

By reckoning 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, Kamala Harris offers in The Truths We Hold a master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times.

When we do, our shared effort will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years to come"--
