La historia de la primera mujer vicepresidenta de Estados Unidos

Una reveladora biografía de la primera mujer de color en presentarse a la vicepresidencia de Estados Unidos, demostrando cómo la hija de dos inmigrantes en la segregada California se convirtió en una de las políticas más poderosas del país.

Kamala Harris es una mujer muy poco convencional, y su historia personal representa lo mejor de Estados Unidos. Creció siendo la hija mayor de una madre soltera, una investigadora especializada en cáncer que emigró de la India a los diecinueve años en busca de una educación mejor. Se separó de su marido, un economista originario de Jamaica, cuando Kamala tenía cinco años.

La Kamala Harris que la gente conoce es dura, inteligente, ingeniosa y exigente. Como fiscal, sus argumentos agudos son legendarios, pero se muestra más reticente cuando tiene que hablar de sí misma, incluso en sus memorias. Afortunadamente, el reportero de Los Angeles Times Dan Morain ha estado siempre a su lado, desde el principio de su carrera profesional.

En Kamala Harris, Morain explica su carrera profesional desde sus inicios, trabajando en casos de abusos de menores y homicidios como fiscal de distrito del condado de Alameda y también la relación que a los veintinueve años mantuvo con Willie Brown, alcalde en aquella época de la ciudad de San Francisco y el hombre más poderoso del estado de California, una relación que duró cinco años y que terminó cambiando por completo la vida de Kamala.

Morain lleva a los lectores a los años en los que Kamala fue también fiscal de distrito de San Francisco, relata sus primeros contactos con el aquel entonces muy poco conocido Barack Obama y detalla a la vez cómo se fue abriendo paso hasta convertirse en senadora de Estados Unidos.
Morain analiza también su fracaso como candidata a la presidencia y la campaña que libró entre bambalinas para hacerse finalmente con la candidatura a la vicepresidencia. Este es un retrato muy fiel de sus valores y sus prioridades, del tipo de personas de las que se rodea, del tipo de problemas en los que se desenvuelve mejor y de los pasos en falso y los riesgos que ha tenido que asumir en su camino a la cima política de su país.

«Una biografía repleta de detalles. Kamala Harris omitió muchos detalles eb su propia autobiografía. Dan Morain se ha encargado de llenar muchos de esos espacios en blanco.» The Wall Street Journal

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.

Cute read
Format: Kindle
This is a shorter book about a fox shifter who is mute but has telepathy for those she establishes a close emotional bond with. She leaves a rather cold home when she turns 18 and takes a train across country, running into one of her mates on a bus. It's a fated mates book, there's instant attraction but it takes a little while to give into the feelings. It's a fairly low spice level, more like a sweet palate cleanser. It's a standalone but there will be more books set in the same town.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
