My Beloved World

This is a powerful memoir from a sitting Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor.

With raw emotion and unflinching candor, she shares her journey from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, detailing her struggles with an alcoholic father, a devoted but overburdened mother, and a diagnosis of juvenile diabetes at a young age.

Despite these challenges, Sotomayor persevered and became valedictorian of her high school class, earning top honors at Princeton and Yale Law School before landing in private practice and eventually being appointed to the Federal District Court.

Throughout her journey, she found solace in her passionately spirited paternal grandmother and a host of invaluable mentors who helped shape her into the remarkable woman she is today.

This memoir offers an inspiring testament to the power of determination and self-belief, making it a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with hard work and resilience.
