La primera latina y tan s???lo la tercera mujer designada a la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Sonia Sotomayor se ha convertido en un icono americano contempor???neo. Ahora, con un candor e intimidad nunca antes asumidos por un juez en activo, Sonia nos narra el viaje de su vida --desde los proyectos del Bronx hasta la corte federal-- en una inspiradora celebraci???n de su extraordinaria determinaci???n y del poder de creer en uno mismo. Esta es la historia de una ni???ez precaria, con un padre alcoh???lico que morir???a cuando ella ten???a nueve a???os y una madre devota pero sobrecargada, y del refugio que una ni???a tom??? de la confusi???n del hogar con su apasionada y en???rgica abuela. Pero no fue hasta que le diagnosticaron diabetes juvenil que la precoz Sonia reconoci??? que, en ???ltima instancia, depend???a de s??? misma. Pronto aprender???a a darse a s??? misma las inyecciones de insulina necesarias para sobrevivir y a r???pidamente forjar un camino hacia una vida mejor. Con personajes de televisi???n como modelo y poca idea sobre lo que en realidad implicaba, Sonia decidi??? ser abogada, un sue???o que la sostendr???a en su improbable recorrido, desde su brillante paso por la escuela secundaria, la universidad de Princeton y la escuela de Derecho de Yale hasta la fiscal???a de distrito del Condado de Nueva York, la pr???ctica privada, y el nombramiento a la Corte Federal de Distrito, todo antes de llegar a los cuarenta a???os. A lo largo del camino vemos como Sonia fue formada por diversas experiencias (como su fallido matrimonio), mentores invaluables, y la versi???n moderna de familia que cre??? con amigos queridos y sus hijos. A trav???s de sus a???n asombrados ojos, las posibilidades infinitas de los Estados Unidos son vislumbradas nuevamente en este libro c???lido y honesto, destinado a convertirse en un cl???sico de la autoformaci???n y el autodescubrimiento.
