NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has a book coming out in January, touching upon everything from his swift political rise to the trauma of his home being set on fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Tuesday that \u201cWhere We Keep the Light: Stories From a Life of Service,\u201d will be released Jan. 27. <\/p>\n

Shapiro, 52, has become a prominent national Democrat since he was elected governor in 2022. He was on Kamala Harris’ shortlist as a running mate in last year’s presidential election and he has often been cited as a potential candidate for 2028.<\/p>\n

According to Harper, Shapiro \u201cshares powerful stories about his family, his faith, and his career in public service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGov. Shapiro reflects on what he has learned along his journey,\u201d Tuesday’s announcement reads in part, \u201cknocking on doors, serving his community, and bringing people together to tackle the tough problems we face.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April, a man set fire to the governor\u2019s mansion while Shapiro and his family were sleeping inside<\/a>, according to authorities. The Shapiros, who hours earlier had hosted a gathering for the Jewish holiday of Passover, were awakened by state police and ushered to safety. <\/p>\n
