O'Connor's home on the range inspires another kids' book By Todd Schafer A new children's book by retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor, based on her childhood on a remote Arizona cattle ranch which prompts a question regarding her sexuality. Critics have said that O'Connor was said to be a tomboy. "I was a cowgirl."O’connor said. And that leads her to describe herself, at 79, as a "retired cowgirl, or should I say, unemployed cowgirl?" Her book, Finding Susie (Knopf, $16.99, published today) is about the adventures and misadventures of a girl named Sandra who tries to find an animal to be her best friend. The book was illustrated by Tom Pohrt, and is aimed at children 4 to 8. This is O'Connor's second children's book after Chico (2005) is about a horse she learned to ride at age 6. She turned to children's books "because looking back, I realized I had such an unusual childhood that may be of some interest."
