NEW YORK: Sen. Kamala Harris, a rising star in the Democratic Party who is sometimes cited as a possible presidential contender in 2020, has a book deal.
Penguin Press announced Tuesday that Harris' 'The Truths We Hold: An American Journey' will come out Jan. 8, 2019. According to Penguin, Harris will write about "the core truths" in American life and how to learn what they are.
The 53-year-old Harris was formerly California's attorney general. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016.
For politicians, books have long been a standard part of developing a national profile, from John F. Kennedy's 'Profiles in Courage' to Barack Obama's 'The Audacity of Hope.'
