      abstract = {The definitive biography of the first Latina and third  woman ever appointed to the Supreme Court from the  biographer of Condoleeza Rice and Laura Bush.  The author  delves behind the headlines to tell the compelling story of  how the daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants living in the  South Bronx became one of the greatest legal minds in the  country. With insight and thoughtful analysis, she explores  the tenacity that makes Sotomayor a sharp, fearless judge;  the sense of compassion that drives her to seek justice for  the underprivileged; and her strong community ties, which  never let her forget where she came from.  Drawing on  candid interviews with figures from Sotomayor's personal  and professional life as well as speeches, interviews with  Sotomayor, and published papers, the author paints a  revealing portrait of the woman who would come to meet  President Obama's rigorous criteria for a Supreme Court  justice and whose appointment would make history.},
