I first heard about Kamala Harris when my spouse began talking about her and telling me what a good president she would be. So we watched as the Democratic candidate pool dwindled and she dropped out. Little did we know that she would become our next vice president - the first woman and the first woman of color to occupy that role in our country. And, what an individual she is.

Harris is positive, upbeat, loves politics and helping others. She is an unusual person who believes in America and all citizens in spite of their economic status. Her quick rise to increasingly influential positions proves that she is one unusual politician. Would that all politicians could be so.

In this book she details her life from childhood to her role as a U.S. Senator for California. She champions women, people of color and those who have no one to help them. No, she doesn't always win but she doesn't give up. She just creates alliances to help win the next time around or the next.,

Harris says her "daily challenge to herself is to e part of the solution, to be a joyful warrior in the battle for the soul of the country." Like the newly elected president, Joe Biden, she believes that Americans must work together to solve its problems not necessarily for ourselves but for the generations beyond us.

This was a good read for me, one of the best of those I read for the year. It left me with a positive feeling and belief in democracy, Americans, and the future. I recommend it to any reader who wants to know the new vice president.

What rubbish... all she needs is a hallo and we can all knowtow and be speechless of her moral superiority... ummm yeah right. I will rather read my fiction books with less moralizing, better writing and more story telling.
