Sumamente inspirador, con un libro asi en mis manos en mi adolecencia hubiese logrado todos mis suenos. Me encanta la manera en la que Sonia nos cuenta sus memorias. Me mantuvo intrigada en todo momento no sabia como parar de leerlo. Es de esos libros que lees mas de una vez. Gracias Sonia por ser puertorriquena!
I purchased this book for my mother in Spanish because I knew she would be more comfortable reading it in Spanish and identifying with some of the experiences from her past. I also read it and it was worth reading to gain a greater cultural understanding of judge Sotomayor as a person.
I read the english version of this wonderful book and couldn't put it down. I was sorry to have it end. Her life is so amazing and her ability to overcome adversity and remain positive about life throughout, developing deep connections with family and friends and transcending a challenging childhood of near poverty to gaining a full scholarship to ivy league universities, including law school at Yale where she graduated with honors. to her eventual appointment to the supreme court. by the end of this exceptional book I felt like I knew her and wanted to be her friend. That she is also an exceptional woman as well as writer even the more exceptional. You will love this book
I am not fluent enough to write a review in Spanish but this was an amazing book. Judge Sotomayor has provided a wonderful biography that is filled with both hope and suffering. It seems that anytime she hit a crisis in her life, she took the high road and figured out what was best for her and even more importantly the society she serves. Her devotion to her family as well as her job was related in stories that made sense to all.The book is written for everyone not just those involved in the legal profession. It is her stories(history) as they unfold in Catholic schools, with her abulita and mother, her legal journey and relationships that she shares. Celebremos!
We are big fans of Justice Sotomayor in my house and when my mom saw that she cold read her life story in Sotomayor's own words she jumped at the chance of getting the book. My mom was even more inpressed and what was reported about Sotomayor is only the beginning. The book gives us so much more insight into her life and makes us love her even move.
Tengo que leerlo muy lentamente por que mi espanol es muy debil. Pues, esta translacion es muy interesante -- especialmente sobre el problema de diabetes Sra. Sotomayor debe encontrar coma una nina. Ella es una persona muy determinada.
Una feliz sorpresa descubrir las habilidades literarias de la ministra de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos. Escrito de manera sencilla, sin poses, muestra la extraordinaria calidad humana de Sonia Sotomayor y la fortaleza que la llevó a superar todos los escenarios poco favorecedores en los que se desenvolvió desde pequeña, empezando por la diabetes diagnosticada a tan corta edad, para convertirse no sólo en un ejemplo a seguir por cualquier persona, por cualquier mujer, sino en la más clara manifestación de que una persona puede llegar a donde quiera siempre que se lo proponga y luche por ello. Una vida llena de retos y una trayectoria que es una inspiración. No deje de leerlo.
Este libro es definitivamente inspirador, pero escrito con una honestidad, exquisitez y belleza que te prendas y no puedes dejar de leer. Compré la versión en español porque como la Juez Sonia es abogado me imaginé que estaría escrito con términos complicados, pero al leer la versión española voy a leer la inglesa pues es el idioma, me imagino, original en que lo escribió. Una belleza...
