Why read it?

1 author picked Kamala's Way as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book I just finished reading is KAMALA'S WAY by Dan Morian who covered Harris for Bay Area major papers and got out the first book on Harris in 2020. I'm reading it now to get a sense of Kamala the Person and Professional Prosecutor and the account encourages my vote for her.

EVERYONE: read this now! spread info to your friends!
