A must read for anyone in auditing or a finance role 
Cynthia has a way of writing that makes this book incredibly accessible. If you've ever been a college grad, accountant, auditor, mother, experienced personal hardship or been faced with tough decisions you will relate to Cythia's story and think "That could have been me."
Every auditor and corporate accountant should read this book. It should be a mandatory read for all business students.
