Publisher's Synopsis
Tulsi Gabbard grew up the fourth of five children in a loving, simple, rough-and-tumble home in beautiful Hawaii. Happiest when running around with no shoes on, reading books, surfing, and practicing yoga, she was a reserved child with no interest in politics. But as life went on, Tulsi began to take notice of the fact that her idyllic world was less idyllic than she thought - the needs of her community went unacknowledged; state leadership was disconnected from the people they'd been elected to serve - and at the age of 21, she was elected to the State House of Representatives, the youngest ever elected official in Hawaii's history. It was a defining moment, one that would set the course of Tulsi's life. 'Is Today the Day?' tells that story and many more for a revealing portrait of a true public servant.
