Acerca de esta escucha

What was it in Sandra Day O'Connor's background and early life that helped make her the woman she is today - the first female justice of the US Supreme Court, and one of the most powerful women in America?

In this beautiful, illuminating, and unusual book, Sandra Day O'Connor, with her brother, Alan, tells the story of the Day family and of growing up on the harsh yet beautiful land of the Lazy B Ranch in Arizona. Laced throughout these stories about three generations of the Day family, and everyday life on the Lazy B, are the lessons Sandra and Alan learned about the world, about people, self-reliance, and survival, and the listener will learn how the values of the Lazy B shaped them and their lives.

Sandra's grandfather first put some cattle on open grazing land in 1886, and the Lazy B developed and continued to prosper as Sandra's parents, who eloped and then lived on the Lazy B all their lives, carved out a frugal and happy life for themselves and their three children on the rugged frontier. As you hear about the daily adventures, the cattle drives and roundups, the cowboys and horses, the continual praying for rain and fixing of windmills, the values instilled by a self-reliant way of life, you see how Sandra Day O'Connor grew up.

This fascinating glimpse of life in the American Southwest in the last century recounts an interesting time in our history, and gives us an enduring portrait of an independent young woman on the brink of becoming one of the most prominent figures in America today.

PLEASE NOTE: This is the abridged edition.

I first listened to this a couple of years ago. Last month I was caught overseas with no new books to listen to, so I listened to this again and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had the opportunity to visit the area of the Lazy B a while back, and it was really nice to fit the story into the places I had been.

Listened to it twice

Read by the judge, this book is insightful and heartwarming. Her telling reminds me of the love of family, nature, cattle and critters; hard lessons learned; and rugged independence I witnessed on the ranch where my mom was raised.

Wonderful and endearing

I really enjoyed this book and the stories within. pretty well written and read by one of the authors with dignity and clarity. The only downside is since it's an audiobook there are no pictures or illustrations.

Humble Story

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

Sandra O’Conner has given us a beautiful glimpse into the life of the early cattle ranchers and cowboys of this Southwest. No sissys; rough tough hardworking men and women who left their mark on the frontier.

Tribute to our resilient heritage

Sandra gives a first person account of life on a ranch in Arizona near the New Mexico border. It reminded me so much of my time there... She reads the book as well so you feel like your grandma is telling you stories about when she was little. I would recommend this book to anyone who misses their life on a ranch.

It's just like she said!

This book was a pleasant surprise, in both content and the structure. Very well-versed, sharp, and simply written, the story offers a childhood description of Sarah Day and her brother Allan, as if seen by the eyes of children. I recommend this book to anyone.

Well written and narrated by Sarah Day O’Connor
