California Senator Kamala Harris Looking for Book Deal Sources say the Democrat has shopped a book to New York publishers as recently as a month ago. Harris is considered a rising star in the political party's ranks. The working title for the project is said to be Speaking Truth: Hard Facts and Hope for America’s Future. The book proposal casts Harris as a political underdog, who has overcome numerous obstacles and expectations. The potential book deal is now fueling rumors of Harris making a 2020 presidential run. A national book tour is said to be a rite of passage for any potential White House aspirant.
