My Beloved World
by
4.09 avg rating — 34,099 ratings
"Sotomayor was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 7 and had to learn to give herself injections because her mother worked odd shifts as a nurse and her father was unreliable due to alcoholism. She writes about how her drive and ambition were shaped in part by not knowing how long she would live. Inspiring and well-written memoir. "
