This is a children's version of an autobiography published by Sotomayor in 2013. It chronicles Sotomayor's early childhood as a type 1 diabetic in the projects in Brooklyn, her upbringing by a single mother, her acceptance at Yale and then at Harvard, her career as a DA and corporate lawyer, and her final confirmation as a district judge. It is a very inspiring story told with engaging prose and endearing candor. Sotomayor is modest in her account, expressing surprise at each honor she received. She talks about turning points and how she learned from mistakes. She is an amazing example of someone who took on each challenge with unflagging effort and enthusiasm. I think this book would be a great choice to give to girls who have that extra spark of ambition and ability. (2018, 343 p.)
