She narrates her journey from being jobless to being a successful CEO of a semiconductor company. Her journey mostly dwells on IBM, a semiconductor organization that molded her, and how her determination brought about her success. She has also touched on her personal life as well as her hobbies, so the book is all-rounded. I like the way the author has narrated everything that touches her life, big and small, good and bad, in her life journey. She has likewise not left out successes and failures, not to mention those who have helped her along the way as well as those who have let her down.

I rate this book, Breaking Through the Silicon Ceiling by Christine King...
