Publisher Description

Los hispanohablantes pueden ahora conocer la historia verdaderamente inspiradora de la primera jueza latina del Tribunal Supremo.     Expresiva, enérgica y divertida, Sonia Sotomayor ha logrado convertir cada lucha de su vida en un triunfo. Nacida en el Bronx de padres inmigrantes de Puerto Rico, Sonia descubrió a los nueve años que tenía diabetes, una enfermedad grave ahora, pero aún más peligrosa hace cincuenta años. ¿Cómo afrontó la joven Sonia la devastadora noticia? Aprendió a administrarse sus inyecciones diarias de insulina y se empeñó en aprovechar al máximo su vida. Fue la popular serie de televisión de los años sesenta Perry Mason la que hizo que Sonia quisiera convertirse en abogada. ¡Y no solo abogada, sino también jueza! Su extraordinaria carrera se vio coronada en 2009 cuando el presidente Barack Obama la nombró miembro del Tribunal Supremo, siendo la tercera mujer en la historia del tribunal y la primera hispana. Las historias de la carrera de Sotomayor no son de orden jurídico: cierta vez se subió a una motocicleta para perseguir a los falsificadores y fue la jueza cuya decisión puso fin a la huelga de las Grandes Ligas de béisbol en 1995. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Spanish speakers can now learn the truly inspiring story of the first Latin Supreme Court Justice. Outspoken, energetic, and fun, Sonia Sotomayor has managed to turn every struggle in life into a triumph. Born in the Bronx to immigrant parents from Puerto Rico, Sonia found out at age nine that she had diabetes, a serious illness now but an even more dangerous one fifty years ago. How did young Sonia handle the devastating news? She learned to give herself her daily insulin shots and became determined to make the most out of her life. It was the popular sixties TV show Perry Mason that made Sonia want to become a lawyer. Not only a lawyer but a judge! Her remarkable career was capped in 2009 when President Barack Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court, only the third woman in the court's history and the first Hispanic. Stories of Sotomayor's career are hardly dry legal stuff - she once hopped on a motorcycle to chase down counterfeiters and was the judge whose ruling ended the Major League baseball strike in 1995.
