Sen. Tim Scott memoir ‘America’ coming out in August

(AP) - Sen. Tim Scott has a memoir out this summer that he says will explain the two words that have shaped his life: hope and redemption.

Thomas Nelson, an imprint of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announced that Scott’s “America, A Redemption Story” is scheduled for release in August.

Scott joined the Senate in 2013 and is up for re-election in November. He is the Senate’s only Black Republican and has been cited at times as a potential presidential candidate.

He was a featured speaker at the 2020 Republican National Convention.
