- Who is this woman who will shape the future of the USA?

In her autobiography, published in 2019 and now available for the first time in German, Kamala Harris tells her own story and describes in a rousing manner how she worked her way up to California’s Justice Minister as the daughter of an Indian immigrant and a Jamaican – and already as a public prosecutor committed to the goal of social justice. During the real estate crisis, she took up the battle with banks and big business to protect ordinary citizens. She fought against racism in law enforcement and consistently pushed ahead with reform of the judiciary.

Her life story, which she describes so vividly in this book, repeatedly recalls the fundamental values of freedom, tolerance and justice, which are so much in danger today.
The impressive testimony of a clever and charismatic politician – and the moving story of a woman on whose shoulders the hope of an entire nation rests.
