What a terrific book. SCOTUS' Justice Sotomayor will charm you with the first incident in her memoir. As a very small child, she is diagnosed with diabetes and is forced to give herself shots. She is the most competent one in her family and this continues throughout this book. She comes from a poor family, gets only a mediocre secondary education, and still goes on to excel in ivy league schools.She manages to be modest and awe-inspiring at every turn. She is honest about the failure of her marriage. She recounts the times people asked her outright if her success was due to affirmative action. A wonderful book. A wonderful woman. Everyone in my book group loved this one. A rarity.

I really respect her. Sounds as though this is a solid book to read, too.
Neil Gorsuch's memoir would tell a very different story.
I've read several good reviews of this one.
She is pretty amazing, isn't she?
So much enjoy memoirs and biography. My kindle is loaded with them.
I will want to read this one for sure.
I should read more books like this. - Margy
I am Alecia,from what I can read. It has been sad news and scam to everyone about Voodoo casters or so. But to me they are so real cause one worked for me not quite long ago.i met this man on a blog his name is Dr Abalaka is a very powerful man.I traveled down to where his shrine his and we both did the ritual and sacrifice.he had no website yet but he promised to create one as costumers are requesting for it, and now i'm free from the powders of sickness.I don't know about you but Voodoo is real;love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,diabetic voodoo,hypertensive voodoo,high cholesterol voodoo,Trouble in marriage,Barrenness(need a child),Luck, Money Spells,he also cure any cancer and HIV,it's all he does. I used my money to purchase everything he used he never collected a dime from. He told me I can repay him anytime with anything from my heart. Now I don't know how to do that. If you can help or you need his help write him on (dr.abalaka@outlook.com) and also his cell number: 760-935-3804 you can text him because he use to be very busy some times,i believe that your story will change for better,or if you have any question you can contact me here as 1001madonado@gmail.com best of luck.
I've seen her interviewed on Charlie Rose. Fascinating life story and what a great sense of humor...;)
Patti, great minds think alike! I reviewed a MG/YA biography of Sonia Sotomayer last month http://barriesummy.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-book-review-club-april-2017.html). What a remarkable and inspiring woman! I'll have to read this adult biography. Thank you for reviewing!
Such an impressive woman! I think your the second or third to recommend this book to me and I can see why. I'm finally back home and catching up on the blog world.
