- Summary
- The childhood best friend of Vice President Kamala Harris looks back at the community in which they were raised and the lessons they learned from those they loved and admired.
- Growing up together in Berkeley in the '60 and '70s, Stacey and Kamala were born of a time and place bursting with cultural diversity and freedom of expression. Here Johnson-Batiste introduces essential formative figures who informed their early lives and whose influences have played a role in shaping the character of both the author and of our vice president. -- adapted from jacket
