This memoir certainly fit this description. Like many readers, the stories that resonate with me are about people who suffer a loss, endure hardships, and rise to survive and thrive with courage and strength. I was interested in reading about the journey on that bumpy road from the slums to the Supreme Court. Someone doesn’t become the first Latina or a woman judge, CEO, astronaut, or any other distinguishable career choice without more than a few bumps in the road. I was drawn to order the book because I knew there had to be a story of a struggle, tenacity, and spirit in her story. That’s certainly a draw, but not the only reason I selected her memoir to read. Much of the attention to the book may be because she is the first Latina Chief Justice and the third woman appointed to the Supreme Court. It’s because of her memoir, “My Beloved World,” which has garnered much praise and is the Amazon Book of the Month for January 2013. The Honorable Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been on several television programs this last month and it’s not for any Supreme Court hearing.
