Please note this event is now SOLD OUT. A CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT DONNA SHALALA: In My Beloved World (Knopf, $27.95), with startling candor and intimacy, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a progress that is testament to her extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. She writes of her precarious childhood and the refuge she took with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. She describes her resolve as a young girl to become a lawyer, and how she made this dream become reality: valedictorian of her high school class, summa cum laude at Princeton, Yale Law, prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, private practice, federal district judge before the age of forty. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-discovery and self-invention, alongside Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father. TICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT: Purchase a copy of the book at Books & Books, while supplies last, and you will receive two tickets to this event.
