Really interesting and inspiring to hear her story, her upbringing and all the causes she has championed. Sometimes you wonder If all of it is true or if its exaggerated slightly like when she said her first word was freedom, not mum or dad! She comes across as almost perfect in the book so you wonder what her faults are or what skeletons lie in her closet. Overall really enjoyed and would recommend!

I didn’t know much about Kamala Harris and decided since she will be VP I would like to learn about her. I had no idea how fascinating and bad ass she is. Totally inspired by her. ♥️ I’m so glad I read this book.

After reading this, I am grateful that Kamala is in a position of power and hopeful that her ideals can get through the cynicism of lingering trumpism. I remember the attacks against her during the initial stages of presidential candidacy, especially those that accused her of being complicit as a California prosecutor in racially discriminate drug offense punishments. This book refutes the veracity of those attacks and details the journey of a public servant whose ideals I share. Harris has clearly emerged from attacks like that, and, as an American citizen, I'm proud of her leadership.

I used this for the 2019 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge prompt "a book that is published in 2019." The writing was brisk and conversational, offering interesting insights to the author's background and views.

What an extraordinary woman. I'm so grateful to have been here for this. The book, like most political memoirs I've read, can be depressing as it addresses the tough issues of our time and these are depressing. It doesn't get lost in the minutiea the way some do (like Barack's, or some of Hillary's) and it just makes me happy that for this time, anyway, this is our Vice President.
