The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, has become an instant American icon. In My Beloved World, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey offering an inspiring testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. 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.
