Justin Trudeau's candid memoir reveals for the first time the experiences that have shaped him over the course of his life, showing how his passion for politics took root. From his childhood at the prime ministerial residence of 24 Sussex up to his role as leader of the Liberal party, the book captures the formative moments of his upbringing, including the influence of his father, Pierre Trudeau, who was prime minister before him, and the tragic death of his brother, Michel.
