Synopsis: "Laugh-out-loud funny, utterly charming, deeply compelling, and powerfully motivational", Luis A. Miranda Jr.&’s personal and political memoir reveals a deep understanding of Latino culture and how to build community to change our world for the better (Ana Navarro). A veteran of New York and national politics, Luis Miranda embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrant. In Relentless, he shares his experience, passion, and storytelling charm to tell the story of a fascinating life and career—from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. Miranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of Hamilton, created by his son Lin-Manuel, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics, demographics, and society.
