With startling candor and intimacy, Sonia Sotomayor recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a progress that is testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. She writes of her precarious childhood and the refuge she took with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. She describes her resolve as a young girl to become a lawyer, and how she made this dream become reality: valedictorian of her high school class, summa cum laude at Princeton, Yale Law, prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, private practice, federal district judge before the age of forty. She writes about her deeply valued mentors, about her failed marriage, about her cherished family of friends. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-discovery and self-invention, alongside Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father.

At first as I saw the number of pages, 500-, I thought this book should have been read within 2 days. But when my estimation was put into actual practice, I found the book is much more intriguing for me to speed up. As this is the first time her name co...

评分If there is anything more you can ask in your life, appreciate for everything you have got and look forward to whatever will come along. Life is a one-time ticket. Justice Sotomayor could not be born any more common than any of us, but she has lived her life up to her dream. Edu can change a life, but whether to go for a good education, your call.
评分读的稍快。很喜欢最后几章。所谓step by step.再者，可以看出来SONIA在耶鲁的时候确实不算出类拔萃。再优秀的人也有优势不在的时候。
