Reviews
"Luis Miranda's memoir transcends politics--it's a deeply personal reflection on identity, resilience, and the pursuit of justice. Written with warmth, wisdom and vivid storytelling, Luis invites readers to witness his evolution as a leader who defies expectations and inspires others to embrace their own stories. Relentless challenges us to redefine our understanding of Latino representation in the American political landscape." -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "The author's tone is charming and personable as he espouses his devotion to Julie Andrews and Debbie Reynolds and authoritative when speaking of the possibilities of Latine political power....An engaging life story and clear picture of some of the mechanics of politics."-- Kirkus Reviews, "From the streets of Puerto Rico to the halls of power in New York City, Luis Miranda has lived a singular life always focused on building community and lifting others. His unmatched determination and eclectic influences (Debbie Reynolds anyone?) make him one of the most fascinating characters alive today. Relentless introduces you to an exemplary American whose unique story--regardless of political leanings--has universal appeal."-- Governor Spencer Cox (R), Utah
