📰Time Is on My Side... Yes, It Is!
In the quiet spaces between what was and what might have been, Kamala Harris has chosen to share her story. The book — called 107 Days — will be published by Simon & Schuster on September 23, offering readers a window into the length of her abbreviated campaign for the presidency.
There is something deeply moving about the deliberate care with which Harris approaches this telling in her interviews about the book. From all appearances the book is written with candor, a unique perspective, and the pace of a page-turning novel. 107 Days takes us inside the race for the highest office in the land. Yet this is not merely a political memoir—it is a testament to the profound weight of democratic participation and the courage required to serve.
For those who have walked alongside Harris through her previous literary offerings, 107 Days represents the continuation of a thoughtful voice in American letters. Her earlier work, Smart on Crime, revealed a prosecutor's mind grappling with justice and reform. The Truths We Hold, though perhaps harder to find on library shelves, offered insights into the personal convictions that shaped her public service. Now, this new work promises to illuminate the shortest presidential campaign in modern history with the same measured wisdom.
The timing of this announcement carries its own quiet poise and significance. "I believe there is value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what I know it will take to move forward," Harris has said, her words reflecting not bitterness but a profound sense of responsibility to the democratic process itself.
In our current moment, when the very foundations of civic engagement feel both fragile and essential, Harris's willingness to share her experience feels like an act of generosity. For the first time, and with surprising and revealing insights, Kamala Harris tells the story of one of the wildest and most consequential presidential campaigns in American history. She offers not just her perspective as a candidate, but as a witness to democracy in action.
The book arrives at a time when many Americans find themselves reconsidering what leadership means, what service requires, and how we measure the worth of those who step forward to serve. Harris's voice, seasoned by decades in public service and tempered by the unique experience of those 107 days, promises to add depth to these conversations.
For readers who appreciated the intellectual rigor of Smart on Crime or sought out the personal reflections in The Truths We Hold, 107 Days will likely offer that same blend of professional insight and personal authenticity. It is a book born not from defeat, but from the understanding that every chapter in the American story—especially the difficult ones—deserves to be told with honesty and grace.
As September approaches, we are reminded that some stories, particularly those of service and sacrifice, require time to unfold properly. In choosing to share her experience, Harris continues the essential work of democracy: helping us understand not just what happened, but what it means for the journey ahead.
