In honor of Hispanic American Month, we'll discuss "My Beloved World" with Coffee, Tea & Snacks!

September's selection is "My Beloved World" by Sonia Sotomayor.

An instant American icon--the first Hispanic on the U.S. Supreme Court--tells the story of her life before becoming a judge in an inspiring, surprisingly personal memoir. With startling candor and intimacy, 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.

Book Club copies are available at the Cherrydale service desk.

Meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Newcomers always welcome.

Next month's selection is "Everything I Never Told You" by Celeste Ng.
