LOVELY ONE A Memoir

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson narrates her audiobook with the precision and thoughtfulness that characterize her legal decisions. She straightforwardly describes the struggles of her progenitors during segregation. Her delivery grows more personable as she depicts her childhood love of learning, as well as memories of high school debating, Harvard friendships, falling in love, juggling family and work, and law case challenges. She examines the influence of gender and racial prejudices, embedding her observations in powerful storytelling. The narrative includes many references to those who supported her. She covers all subjects candidly--from raising a child on the autism spectrum to hair routines. This is a long audio, but listeners who appreciate plentiful descriptions will appreciate Jackson's careful detailing of both her personal and professional arenas.
