“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.

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.

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.
