Delecia Holt, 2021

The former Republican congressional candidate for the House of Representatives from California, Delecia Holt, was propelled to national awareness during the 2006 elections when she became a candidate to replace Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the former member of the House of Representatives in San Diego's 50th Congressional district. Because she was the only female, Republican that entered the race she stood out in a sea of male GOP candidates. But, what was striking about her was that she was the only "Black" female to enter what was later termed "the Good Old Boys Club" of millionaire, white male candidates. And by all accounts with regard to her political savviness, it is said that she had matched them stride for stride. While there were two "Black" male candidates that entered the race, they soon fell to the wayside. Holt's tenacity, intense passion and love of her country, the United States of America, her sense of compassion for those in need, and her eclectic work experience is what many believe catapulted her to sudden prominence within the GOP. And, is what may have also caused many others to target her. Holt was an up and coming rising star within the GOP party. What The Princess Discovered is a humorous blend of autobiographical and social policy analysis that deviates from the typical and is unlike any other you have ever read. In it, Holt recounts her unique childhood and the insight that her racially diverse heritage and the experience of being raised in a family blessed with numerous members from exotic countries, profound philosophical beliefs, fascinating cultures, varied traditions and religions from around the world affords her. She also discusses in great detail the civil rights era that she was born into, her loss of several family members to cancer and other catastrophic illnesses, the discovery of twenty-seven lumps in her breasts, her arrest in 2008, the trial process, her initial incarceration and subsequent re-arrest in 2010 roughly six-and-a-half hours after being notified of the death of her Mother for alleged probation violations and how those experiences impacted her family members lives, the life of her teenage daughter, their relationships, and her spiritual growth. As well as virtually every major political issue facing the American people and the citizens of the world today, offering her unique insight and hopeful strategies for reforming broken governmental systems that have left so many of their citizens disenfranchised and actively voicing a need for practical solutions. She also shares with the reader her fascinating experiences and admiration of such incredible personalities as U.S. Presidents, other U.S. political figures, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Albert Einstein, Walter Cronkite, Michael Jackson, Mitt Romney, and various others. They have had an immeasurable impact on her life's journey. Encounters that are divine twists of fate. She discovered that the world is not what she imagined it to be, when she was a child. Her personal losses, love, challenges, national defense, and call to civic duty strengthened her desire to serve the great people of the United States of America. In this book she shares her vision of hope for the future. She hopes that by sharing her failures and triumphs that someone may find the courage to pick them self up again, dust them self off and walk those last few feet, across the finish line to personal victory!
