Random Cool: Justice Sonia Sotomayor To Release Memoir

By Simone Hilliard

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor can now add author to her already impressive resume.

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group announced Monday (June 12) that it will publish Sotomayor's account of her life, described as a "coming-of-age memoir by an American daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants."

What can we expect to find in Justice Sotomayor's first memoir? Knopf says Sotomayor will not only write about growing up in the South Bronx and her relationship with her mother (and the loss of her father when she was nine years old), she'll also share details about her journey to Princeton University (on a full scholarship) and later to Yale Law School.

We can also look forward to learning more about a life in the law, culminating with her appointment to the federal bench.

The book does not have a publication date or title yet, but Sonny Mehta, chairman and editor in chief of the Knopf Publishing, released the following statement on the upcoming project:

“Sonia Sotomayor has lived a remarkable life and her achievements will prove an inspiration to readers around the world. Hers is a triumph of the Latino experience in America.”

We couldn't agree more!
