      Listeners unfamiliar with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris's life and career will find this audiobook a detailed introduction. The California senator is a seasoned public figure in politics, and her voice reflects her experience and knowledge. The audiobook is a hybrid of a traditional memoir and a political text, covering Harris's days growing up, her education at Howard University, her work as a district attorney general, and her current role as a congresswoman. Listeners are provided Harris's perspective on key issues, including the recent Supreme Court nomination hearings and immigration policy. Harris's insights into politics are likely what most listeners are seeking. Her resolve on the status of the current political climate comes through loud and clear: "We are better than this!"
