Descripci�n Hardcover. Condici�n: new. Hardcover. A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to stand for Vice President, charting how the daughter of two immigrants in segregated California became one of this country's most effective power players. There's very little that's conventional about Kamala Harris, and yet her personal story also represents the best of America. 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. The 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 Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain has been there from the start. In Kamala's Way, he charts 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 vivid picture of her values and priorities, the kind of people she brings into her orbit, 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. Kamala's Way is essential reading for all Americans curious about the woman standing by Joe Biden's side.

Descripci�n Hardcover. Condici�n: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. There's very little that's conventional about Kamala Harris, yet her personal story also represents the best of America. She and her younger sister were raised by a single mother, a no-nonsense cancer researcher who emigrated from India at the age of nineteen in search of a better education. Harris's mother and her father, an accomplished Jamaican-born economics professor, split up when Harris was only five. From both her parents she inherited a sense of social justice. From her mother: a work ethic, an attention to detail, and most of all, a talent for getting around closed doors. From her modest beginnings in Oakland through her activist days at Howard University, Harris grew up to be tough, smart, quick-witted, and demanding -- both a formidable prosecutor known for her lethal one-liners and a politician deft at managing California's split-personality culture. Veteran journalist Dan Morain watched her ascent over his twenty-five years covering the state of California and delivers the first in-depth biography of her exceptional journey. You'll meet Harris the fast-rising prosecutor -- handling child molestation cases and homicides in Alameda County; introducing innovative ways to fight truancy, neutralize gangs, and protect sex workers as San Francisco district attorney; and becoming the first Black female attorney general in California history. You'll meet Harri the shrewd strategist, not afraid to play hardball in California's sharp-elbowed politics but also capable of pulling her punches when it suited her. A longtime opponent of the death penalty, she refused to pursue it against a cop killer, but then twice refused to take a stand against it when it was on the California ballot. You'll meet Harris the twenty-nine-year-old who entered into a relationship with Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a man thirty years her senior and one of the most powerful men in the state. It was a relationship that would open doors, but one that she would also later describe as "an albatross." You'll discover Harris the risk-taker, who made the bold decision to run for the United States Senate just five years into her tenure as attorney general -- and to embrace Barack Obama's candidacy when he was just a long shot. And you'll meet Harris the comeback queen, as Morain dissects her failure as a presidential candidate -- and then her brilliant behind-the-scenes campaign to land the all-important VP spot on Joe Biden's ticket. Along the way, Morain reveals what Harris does when no one is looking: falling in love later in life, becoming a stepmother, and caring for little-known members of her longtime and informal political family, who always knew that "Kamals' Way" would land her on top.
