She grew up the eldest daughter of a single mother, a no-nonsense cancer researcher who emigrated from India at the age of nineteen in search of a better education. She and her husband, an accomplished economist from Jamaica, split up when Kamala was only five.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Kamala Harris the public knows today is tough, smart, quick-witted, and demanding. She’s a prosecutor—her one-liners are legendary—but she’s more reticent when it comes to sharing much about herself, even in her memoirs. Fortunately, former \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporter Dan Morain has been there from the start.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eKamala’s Way\u003c\/i\u003e, he “offers an essential roadmap” (\u003ci\u003ePolitico\u003c\/i\u003e) to her career from its beginnings handling child molestation cases and homicides for the Alameda County District Attorney’s office and her relationship as a twenty-nine-year-old with the most powerful man in the state: married Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a relationship that would prove life-changing. Morain takes readers through Harris’s years in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyzes her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. Along the way, he paints a “revealing portrait” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) of her values and priorities, the sorts of problems she’s good at solving, and the missteps, risks, and bold moves she’s made on her way to the top.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKamala’s Way\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for all Americans curious about the woman standing by Joe Biden’s side.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405359284479,"sku":"9781982175771","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_d7ecd546-2a21-46f8-944a-bc4d20fe54c5.jpg?v=1759945399","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781982175771","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
