Product details
Harris details her life as the daughter of immigrants, born in Oakland, California, and raised in West Berkeley.She describes her childhood neighborhood as "a close-knit neighborhood of working families who were focused on doing a good job, paying the bills, and being there for one another."
Harris would eventually become San Francisco district attorney. Her decision to become a prosecutor was so she could serve "the victims of crimes committed and the victims of a broken criminal justice system." Understanding this dichotomy, Harris describes herself as a progressive prosecutor. The book continues on through her time as California Attorney General, her face-off against fellow Democrat Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 U.S. Senate election, and ends with her touting her fights against the Trump administration.

Key Features
Memoir by the first African American vice president lady.
She elaborates:It is to understand that when a person takes another’s life, or a child is molested, or a woman raped, the perpetrators deserve severe consequences. That is one imperative of justice.
But it is also to understand that fairness is in short supply in a justice system that is supposed to guarantee it.
The job of a progressive prosecutor is to look out for the overlooked, to speak up for those whose voices aren’t being heard, to see and address the causes of crime, not just their consequences, and to shine a light on the inequality and unfairness that lead to injustice.
It is to recognize that not everyone needs punishment, that what many need, quite plainly, is help.
