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.

Picked up this book for some light holiday reading before the CNY. Didn't start until after the festival and then finished it in merely a few days. This woman, the first Hispanic and third female appointed to the U.S. supreme court, is a perfect example of ...
評分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...

Very inspiring and motivating
評分讀的稍快。很喜歡最後幾章。所謂step by step.再者,可以看齣來SONIA在耶魯的時候確實不算齣類拔萃。再優秀的人也有優勢不在的時候。
評分這麼說可能會被認為很自大吧 但是書裏對待許多事情的描述,我覺得都有同感。一個貧民窟裏走齣來的法官,西裔,女性,那麼多不占優勢的標簽最終都沒有阻擋她成為自己想成為的人的腳步。一定是個內心足夠堅定又有力量的女人吧。
評分跟tolstoy的半小說半自傳的Childhood; Boyhood; Youth比,差距大。作傢和法官寫自傳,差彆真大。
評分A warm story.
