Lovely One (Adapted for Young Adults)

In "Lovely One," Ketanji Brown Jackson recounts her remarkable journey from a determined young girl to the first Black woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This young adult adaptation includes a new preface, epilogue, and a prize-winning speech from her high school days.
