The Truths We Hold: An American Journey by Kamala Harris
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
4.5
This is another excellently written memoir. Personally, I love persuasive writing, and I would love to see a strong female writer that emphasizes her argument over her personal story. However, it seems that, especially for women, the memoir is the primary way to share your important ideas with today's readers.
Kamala's memoir is engaging. I never felt like the narrative lagged. And while I would have loved to see more of it, the commentary where she inserted her political opinions was also very well done. It was powerful and moving.
Not only was this an entertaining and edifying read, I was also inspired. When I have thought about the problems that our world faces, I often feel discouraged. We face age-old problems that I often feel like are unsolvable. But Kamala shared her perspective that solutions are likely going to spend lifetimes.
I feel encouraged, like the little that I can contribute in my lifetime is not useless. That even if the problems that we face aren't completely fixed within my lifetime, the progress that is made will eventually lead to the solutions that we're aiming for.
