This memoir from Justice Sotomayor tells an amazing story of a young Puerto Rican girl who grew up in the Bronx in a loving but very poor family. Her father died when she was young leaving her mother to raise her and her brother. Sotomayor was diagnosed at a very young age with type 1 diabetes...a disease that she always assumed would lead to an early death. Regardless, her determination and grit helped her excel in school and get accepted to Princeton and Yale.
I have to say, I checked this out on a whim and was very moved by her story, her candor and her amazing accomplishments. She seems very humble and also very fun, I assume she and RBG are having a good time at the Supreme Court.
