       together, drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from 
       her own career and the work of those who have most

       master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and

       own life, on into the great work of our day, she 
       communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, 
       and shared values. In a book rich in many home truths, not
       least is that a relatively small number of people work 
       very hard to convince a great many of us that we have less
       in common than we actually do, but it falls to us to look 
       past them and get on with the good work of living our 
       common truth. When we do, our shared effort will continue 
       to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years

520    "From one of America's most inspiring political leaders, a
       book about the core truths that unite us, and the long 
       struggle to discern what those truths are and how best to 
       act upon them, in her own life and across the life of our 
       country. Senator Kamala Harris's commitment to speaking 
       truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of 
       immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California 
       community that cared deeply about social justice; her 
       parents--an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired
       cancer researcher from India--met as activists in the 
       civil rights movement when they were graduate students at 
       Berkeley. Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion
       for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law 
       school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly 
       established herself as one of the most innovative change 
       agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly
       to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco,
       and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of
       California as a whole. Known for bringing a voice to the 
       voiceless, she took on the big banks during the 
       foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for 
       California's working families. Her hallmarks were applying
       a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California's 
       thorniest issues, always eschewing stale "tough on crime" 
       rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither 
       "tough" nor "soft" but smart on crime became her mantra. 
       Being smart means learning the truths that can make us 
       better as a community, and supporting those truths with 
       all our might. That has been the pole star that guided 
       Harris to a transformational career as the top law 
       enforcement official in California, and it is guiding her 
       now as a transformational United States Senator, grappling
       with an array of complex issues that affect her state, our
       country, and the world, from health care and the new 
       economy to immigration, national security, the opioid 
       crisis, and accelerating inequality. 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 
       [this book] a master class in problem solving, in crisis 
       management, and leadership in challenging times. Through 
       the arc of her own life, on into the great work of our day,
       she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared 
       purpose, and shared values. In a book rich in many home 
       truths, not least is that a relatively small number of 
       people work very hard to convince a great many of us that 
       we have less in common than we actually do, but it falls 
       to us to look past them and get on with the good work of 
       living our common truth. When we do, our shared effort 
       will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and
       in the years to come."--Dust jacket.

       purpose, and shared values while offering a master class 
       in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership 
       in challenging times. In examining the core truths that 
       unite us, and the long struggle to discern what those 
       truths are and how best to act upon them, she shows how 
       our shared efforts will continue to sustain us and this 
       great nation, now and in the years to come. -- condensed
