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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49524996505873,"sku":"GOR013746885","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49803502682385,"sku":"CIN1982175761G","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50038317842705,"sku":"CIN1982175761VG","price":6.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50130220155153,"sku":"CIN1982175761A","price":3.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1982175761.jpg?v=1750933677","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/kamala-s-way-book-dan-morain-9781982175764","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
