NEW YORK, N.Y. – U.S. Sen. Cory Booker wants to be a uniter.

The first-term Democrat from New Jersey has a deal with Ballantine Bantam Dell for the book “United,” which will combine stories from his life with a plan for “revitalizing” the country.

According to the publisher, the book will touch on Booker’s time as a Rhodes scholar and his ideas for the economy and criminal justice system.
