Publisher's Summary
A powerful memoir about finding your voice and using it to change the world - created specifically for the audio format.
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina made headlines with her unprecedented judicial decisions during the Nassar sentencing hearing, but in a life filled with unconventional choices and bold decisions, this was only one of her many extraordinary moments. In this empowering memoir, Judge Aquilina finally shares her own deeply personal story.
Every time Rosemarie was told she couldn’t do something, her response was a resounding, “Just watch me”. She lived these words, first, as a young woman when told she couldn’t pursue a career in the male-dominated legal field. Next, as a government staffer when told she couldn’t be a Judge Advocate General Officer in the Michigan National Guard and a mother. And finally, as a judge when told she should not allow every Sister Survivor to speak in the Nassar case.
Through it all, Judge Aquilina’s grit and perseverance resulted in a uniquely courageous life story. Now she’ll inspire you to make your own bold choices and stand strong in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

the memoir of a truly inspiring life
The life story of a judge who believes in justice and fairness — by giving a voice to many who didn’t have a voice, ie was never heard or believed before coming to her courtroom. And it all started from her earliest memories in Michigan, her roots in Malta / Germany. It covers her role in her family, her career in the justice system, her service in the military. She also shares life moments when she was the more vulnerable one. Definitely a book that I will read and reread, in both the paperback as well as the audible version. A life that truly inspires!

Time well spent!
Sometimes we read or watch something and say “well that is time I cannot get back”. You will not feel this way about this book!
I loved that this memoir was read by the author herself. She has such a pleasant voice. I found the listening experience so calming. It kept me engaged as well as had me laughing and crying all at the same time. At times, I could relate to what was being said, and I feel many listeners will have the same experience.
I found it difficult to stop listening. If I had somewhere to go I listened in my car through Bluetooth. As they say it is “hard to put a good book down”.
Rosemarie Aquilina is such an inspiration. I learned not to start my questions of others with ‘Why’ and instead ask and really listen to what someone wants me to know. I am not a Judge or a lawyer, but these are words of wisdom that everyone can apply to everyday life, to every relationship, personal or professional.
From her experiences of childhood to becoming a wife, mother, caregiver to aging parents all while working on her own career, fulfilling her goals and dreams in life is truly an inspiration to all.
‘Just Watch Me’ by Judge Rosemarie Aquilina definitely is one to be added to your listening list!
Enjoy!
Thank you Judge Rosemarie Aquilina for sharing your story!
