My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor
5.0
Sotomayor's autobiography is a chronological examination of her life since childhood of the people and events that shaped her into what she is today: US Supreme Court Justice.
Every chapter is a collection of related stories concentrating on the most formative periods of her life in which she shares the experiences and wisdom that she believes allowed her to start from an impoverished childhood in a crime and drug afflicted Bronx while having type I diabetes and to then surge incredibly to the greatest heights one can achieve as a citizen of the USA.
She does a great job of sharing her Puerto Rican heritage and I found it gratifying to see how she eventually became a champion for her people. Another highlight for me was the beautiful way in which she shared the story of her personal relationships and how critical they were to her success.
The physical copy I read also had a nice collection of gloss photos.
