Kamala Harris` book in offing |
Sen. Kamala Harris, a rising star in the Democratic Party who is sometimes cited as a possible presidential contender in 2020, has a book deal. Penguin Press announced July 17 that the Indian American senator`s “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey” will come out Jan. 8, 2019.Harris will write about “the core truths” in American life and how to learn what they are. The 53-year-old Harris was formerly California`s attorney general. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. For politicians, books have long been a standard part of developing a national profile, from John F. Kennedy`s “Profiles in Courage” to Barack Obama`s “The Audacity of Hope.” According to an article in The New York Times, the “memoir and current-events primer, in a mixture well-known to campaign books, will include sketches of both Ms. Harris`s upbringing and her governing principles.” Harris grew up in the San Francisco East Bay city of Oakland. Her parents are immigrants; her mother is from India and father from Jamaica.
