Since losing last year's US election to Donald Trump, Kamala Harris has kept a pretty low profile.
But her upcoming campaign memoir, 107 Days — which the ABC has received a copy of — reveals the former vice-president still has plenty to say.
Here are some of the takeaways.
Harris voices frustrations with the Bidens, his team — and herself
Harris uses her book to criticise those people around former president Joe Biden — including herself — who didn't challenge his decision to run for re-election.
"In retrospect, I think it was recklessness," she writes. "This wasn't a choice that should have been left to an individual's ego, an individual's ambition."
While she doesn't accept Biden was no longer mentally fit for the presidency, she was worried about his ability to campaign, given his worsening "verbal stumbles" and the fact he'd grown so "tired".
"What I do know is he needed rest, and you're not going to get it during an election campaign."
Harris paints herself as loyal to a fault, part of the reason she didn't push Biden to quit. But she was frustrated her loyalty was sometimes questioned by the former president and his family.
On one occasion, Biden called her hours before she was due to debate Trump, while she was preparing in a hotel room.
According to Harris, Biden told her some "real powerbrokers in Philly" had decided not to support her, because they'd heard she'd said bad things about him.
"I just couldn't understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself. Distracting me with worry about hostile powerbrokers in the biggest city of the most important state."
She also wishes she'd done more to distance herself from Biden after he stepped aside.
A particular regret was telling a talk show she couldn't think of anything she'd have done differently to Biden if she'd been president — a comment that haunted her throughout the campaign.
"Stationed at various places around the set, my staff were beside themselves," she writes. "Why. Didn't. I. Separate. Myself. From. Joe. Biden?"
But Harris also writes that the "rapport between Joe and me was genuine". Before the election campaign, the pair regularly lunched together in the White House.
"He'd have a club sandwich; I'd have grilled fish. And then, with a conspiratorial grin, he'd order us up a chocolate shake or a sundae."
She says Biden's White House helped 'fuel' her critics
Harris complains that the Biden White House rarely defended her from attack, and even added "fuel to negative narratives that sprung up around me".
"They had a huge comms team," Harris writes. "But getting anything positive. Said about my work or any defence against untrue attacks was almost impossible."
She cites an example involving the AUKUS submarine deal with Australia.
In 2021, Harris travelled to France to "help reset our tattered relationship after we signed the Australia-UK-US security pact".
France was incensed after Australia terminated an agreement to buy French submarines. France had recalled its ambassadors to the US and Australia, and president Emmanuel Macron later said then-prime minister Scott Morrison had lied to him.
"This had caused tremendous friction," Harris recalls. But she met Macron, talked up French-US cooperation in other areas, and "warmed the chill".
She also visited a medical institute and, during a conversation with research, said she wished politicians did more research before coming up with "the plan" for everything.
"I said 'the Plan' with exaggerated emphasis and air quotes," Harris writes.
"Fox News, the New York Post, and Newsmax went wild, claiming I'd faked a French accent.
"This was total nonsense, but the White House seemed glad to let reporting about my 'gaffe' overwhelm the significant thaw in foreign relations I'd achieved."
She 'pleaded with Joe' to show empathy for Palestinians
During the election campaign, a lot of Democrats hoped Harris would take a stronger position than Biden against Israel harming innocent Palestinians in Gaza.
In the end — possibly to her detriment — Harris maintained ironclad support for Israel, even if her language sometimes seemed a little tougher on it.
She argued then — and continues to in the book — that Israel's war (now officially deemed a genocide by a UN probe) is "not a binary issue".
But she also writes that she was frustrated by Biden's seeming inability to express genuine empathy for Palestinians.
"I had pleaded with Joe, when he spoke publicly on the issue, to extend the same empathy he showed to the suffering of Ukrainians to the suffering of innocent Gazan civilians," she writes.
"But he couldn't do it: while he could passionately state, 'I am a Zionist,' his remarks about innocent Palestinians came off as inadequate and forced."
Harris was frustrated anti-genocide protesters targeted her rallies, but not Trump's.
"I wished they would understand that sitting out the election of voting for a third candidate would elect Trump and kill any effort for a just peace, any hope for a two-state solution."
She writes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "was bent on undermining Joe Biden" and, during her own meeting with him during the campaign, his "hooded gaze and disengaged demeanour made it clear to me that he was running out the clock".
"He wanted Trump in the seat opposite him," Harris writes.
"Netanyahu wanted the guy who would acquiesce to his every extreme proposal for the future of Gaza's inhabitants and add his own plan for a land grab by his developer cronies."
She felt she couldn't choose a gay running mate
After she became the Democratic nominee for president, Harris had an "excruciatingly tight timeframe" to find a running mate.
She chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, but reveals in her book that he wasn't her first pick.
"Of the eight names on the list for vetting, I might as well say that Pete Buttigieg was my first choice," she writes.
Buttigieg, known to many as Mayor Pete, was Biden's transportation secretary who had previously run against him for the party's presidential nomination. He's also married to a man.
"He would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white woman," Harris writes.
"But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man.
"Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let's just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk."
Buttigieg said he was surprised to read that.
"I just believe in giving Americans more credit than that," he told Politico. "Politics is about the results we can get for people and not about these other things."
Trump was 'surprisingly' nice to her in private
Trump's attacks on Harris during the campaign were harsh and personal. He mispronounced her name, questioned her racial identity and mocked her "crazy person" laugh.
But when she spoke to him on the phone after one of the apparent attempts on his life, she encountered a man who was "surprisingly effusive", she writes.
"You've done a great job, you really have," Trump said, according to Harris's retelling in the book. "My only problem is it makes it very hard for me to be angry at you."
Harris writes Trump went on to tell her he was going to "tone it down", that his daughter Ivanka was a "big fan" of hers, and that her husband Doug "looks like a really good guy".
"People had told me," Harris writes, "that he had the capacity, one to one, to show a warmer side. That he could even be charming. I hadn't believed it. But now I was experiencing it.
"And then, a reality check: He's a con man. He's really good at it."
