520    "The making of a visionary political leader-and a 
       blueprint for a more equitable country "Don't tell nobody 
       our business," Michael Tubbs's mother often told him 
       growing up. For Michael, that meant a lot of things: don't
       tell anyone about the day-to-day struggle of being Black 
       and broke in Stockton, CA. Don't tell anyone the pain of 
       having a father incarcerated for 25 years to life. Don't 
       tell anyone about living two lives, the brainy bookworm 
       and the kid with the newest Jordans. And also don't tell 
       anyone about the particular joys of growing up with three 
       "moms"-a Nana who never let him miss church, an Auntie 
       who'd take him to the library any time, and a mother, "She
       -Daddy", who schooled him in the wisdom of hip-hop and 
       taught him never to take no for an answer. So for a long 
       time Michael didn't tell anyone his story, but as he went 
       on to a scholarship at Stanford and an internship in the 
       Obama White House, he began to realize the power of his 
       experience, the need for his perspective in the halls of 
       power. By the time he returned to Stockton to become, in 
       2016 at age 26, its first Black mayor and the youngest-
       ever mayor of a major American city, he knew his story 
       meant something. The Deeper the Roots is a memoir 
       astonishing in its candor, voice, and clarity of vision. 
       Tubbs shares with us the city that raised him, his family 
       of badass women, his life-changing encounters with Oprah 
       Winfrey and Barack Obama, the challenges of governing in 
       the 21st century and everything in between-en route to 
       unveiling his compelling vision for America rooted in his 
       experiences in his hometown"--|cProvided by publisher.
