With startling candor and intimacy, Sonia Sotomayor recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a progress that is testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. She writes of her precarious childhood and the refuge she took with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. She describes her resolve as a young girl to become a lawyer, and how she made this dream become reality: valedictorian of her high school class, summa cum laude at Princeton, Yale Law, prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, private practice, federal district judge before the age of forty. She writes about her deeply valued mentors, about her failed marriage, about her cherished family of friends. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-discovery and self-invention, alongside Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father.
没有成为最高法的法官不见的是失败,但成为的人,定有过人之处。艰苦卓绝的努力和强悍的个性,在男性世界中屹立的女强人总是让人敬畏
评分读的稍快。很喜欢最后几章。所谓step by step.再者,可以看出来SONIA在耶鲁的时候确实不算出类拔萃。再优秀的人也有优势不在的时候。
评分佩服
评分A warm story.
评分很难想到一个先天性重度糖尿病患者,每天抽三包烟的波多黎各女人最终能成为美国高法大法官。传记里她同时强调了生活中的两方面:来自外界的困难和来自外界的帮助。在自传中同时强调这两者看似矛盾,但本书的写作意图就是希望人们能看到世界是美好的吧。关于歧视的态度很有启发性...但总感觉对自己的家庭太过冷酷了呢,可能是文化差异吧。另外一个问题是她似乎生来就这么优秀的,莫名其妙的就从贫民中学硬撸成普林斯顿的summa cum laude了。更想看看个人的心态转变和如何应对失败。这可能是自传的普遍问题吧——dark side都藏起来了。

评分At first as I saw the number of pages, 500-, I thought this book should have been read within 2 days. But when my estimation was put into actual practice, I found the book is much more intriguing for me to speed up. As this is the first time her name co...
