"La primera latina y tan solo la tercera mujer designada a la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, Sonia Sotomayor se ha convertido en un icono americano contemporaneo. 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 celebracion de su extraordinaria determinacion y del poder de creer en uno mismo. Esta es la historia de una ninez precaria, con un padre alcoholico que moriria cuando ella tenia nueve anos y una madre devota pero sobrecargada, y del refugio que una nina tomo de la confusion del hogar con su apasionada y energica abuela. Pero no fue hasta que le diagnosticaron diabetes juvenil que la precoz Sonia reconocio que, en ultima instancia, dependia de si misma. Pronto aprenderia a darse a si misma las inyecciones de insulina necesarias para sobrevivir y a rapidamente forjar un camino hacia una vida mejor. Con personajes de television como modelo y poca idea sobre lo que en realidad implicaba, Sonia decidio ser abogada, un sueno que la sostendria 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 fiscalia de distrito del Condado de Nueva York, la practica privada, y el nombramiento a la Corte Federal de Distrito, todo antes de llegar a los cuarenta anos. A lo largo del camino vemos como Sonia fue formada por diversas experiencias (como su fallido matrimonio), mentores invaluables, y la version moderna de familia que creo con amigos queridos y sus hijos. A traves de sus aun asombrados ojos, las posibilidades infinitas de los Estados Unidos son vislumbradas nuevamente en este libro calido y honesto, destinado a convertirse en un clasico de la autoformacion y el autodescubrimiento."
