#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A "searching and emotionally intimate memoir" ( The New York Times ) told with a candor never before undertaken by a sitting Justice. This "powerful defense of empathy" ( The Washington Post ) is destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery. The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. In this story of human triumph that "hums with hope and exhilaration" ( NPR ), she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself. She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney's office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book.

A wonderful story of the Puerto Rican and legal communities. While Ms Sotomayor says she is not predicting how she will act on the Supreme Court, it is amazing how often her Supreme Court dissents correspond well to passages and concerns in this autobiography.

Fascinating and inspiring
Sonia Sotomayor, now a supreme court judge, tells her story from happy but impoverished childhood to her current position of respect and authority, dealing with severe diabetes along the way. The book reads well and moves right along till the last introspective chapter or two, when it bogs down in self-evaluation. But the childhood, student and early career chapters are entrancing.

very inspiring
Ms. Sotomayor's clear recollections of her childhood and young adulthood provide inspiration and show her energy and compassion. A slice of American history.
