“My Beloved World” is a memoir by the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor. Sotomayor was born in the Bronx, New York, to Puerto Rican parents. She was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of eight, which motivated her to become a doctor. However, she eventually decided to pursue a career in law. Sotomayor attended Princeton University and Yale Law School. She worked as an assistant district attorney in New York before being appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1992.
President Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court in 2009, and she was confirmed by the Senate in 2010. “My Beloved World” chronicles Sotomayor’s life from her childhood in the Bronx to her appointment to the Supreme Court. Sotomayor writes about her Puerto Rican heritage, her close relationship with her parents, and her experience as a diabetic. She also discusses her time as a prosecutor and a judge, and her views on the law. “My Beloved World” is an inspiring story of a woman who has overcome many obstacles to achieve her dreams.
