A review by mollyq18
My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor

5.0

If you are considering a career in politics, law, or literally anything human-related, you should read this memoir by Sonia Sotomayor, one of the few women Supreme Court justices in our nation’s history. This memoir changed my perspective on life. Sotomayor tells her story starting as a young girl and ending just before she’s nominated to the Supreme Court. I read this book on the train to my internship summer 2018 and as I read I felt like I was walking through Sotomayor’s life with her. She paints a picture of her childhood, family, hometown, and various jobs with such a kind empathy and fondness that she clearly carried to her current job. I love love love this book and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to learn more about justice issues and empathy!!
