Justin Trudeau's memoir describes the experiences that have shaped him over the course of his life, covering the years from his childhood at 24 Sussex to his role as Liberal leader today. The book was described by CBC as "widely seen as his attempt to define himself before his political opponents do it for him" and is both a political and personal memoir. Trudeau addresses his childhood, the breakup of the marriage of his parents, his mother's struggle with mental health issues, the death of his brother and his decision to run for public office.
