“Moving insight into a remarkable man, which remains a touching tribute to his accomplishments in the later years of his life.” - Library Journal (starred review)

“The legendary, late Baltimore congressman shares the stories of his past with an eye to the future in this apt-for-our-times memoir.” - Newsweek

“I absolutely love the late Rep. Elijah Cummings’ book ‘We’re Better Than This: My Fight for the Future of our Democracy.’ It was his last call to action before he passed away.” - Suzanne Malveaux, CNN National correspondent

“This memoir serves as an urgent call to action for all Americans as we strive to live up to our nation’s pledge of ‘liberty and justice for all’ as only Elijah could deliver it. He and I often spoke of our shared backgrounds and experiences, probably the most significant of all was that we each grew up as the son of a preacher…He is missed, but his message lives on in this powerful testimony of how we can best move our country toward the promise of ‘a more perfect union.’” - Rep. James E. Clyburn, House Majority Whip (D-SC)

“In Congress, we miss his wisdom, his warm friendship, and his great humanity. In Baltimore, we miss our champion. God truly blessed the United States with the life and leadership of Elijah Cummings. What a blessing that, with this wonderful book, generations of Americans–our ‘living messengers’ to the future–will now be able to read his words and learn from his beautiful life!” - From the Foreword by Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“Excellent political memoir by the late Democratic representative from Baltimore…A thoughtful and inspiring exhortation to do better by a much-missed leader.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Impressive on multiple levels … an urgent call to action, imploring us to defend our democracy as it is assailed by threats internal and external. And, perhaps above all, it is a poignant reminder of just how much the nation lost with his death… . To read this book is to join the ranks of his admirers.” - NPR

“A forceful valedictory… . Cummings’s paeans to family, faith, and general idealism make this a moving tale worth reading.” - Publishers Weekly
