    Story
    (141)

    The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

    Mrs. Pearle G. Mintz says: "A book so wonderful I can't wait until I share it"
    "Incredible."

    Story
    Would you consider the audio edition of My Beloved World to be better than the print version?

    Listening really brought the story to life. Having lived in El Barrio (NYC) for many years I was able to relate to many of her experiences.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Justice Sonia Sotomayor. She did it against all odds. She really made it to the top.


    What about Rita Moreno’s performance did you like?

    All of it. Her ability to capture the nuiances of the speech was fabulous.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Parts of it made me laugh and parts made me cry. When she spoke of her cousin and his lost talent both intellecually and musically it was very sad.


    Any additional comments?

    I will listen to this book over and over again. It is so inspirational. Will also recommend it to all.
