Customer Reviews

Wonderful Story!

I have had the benefit of meeting Soraya... and she is one of the strongest, most motivating women I have ever met! The story she tells here is shocking yet she ( & related in story) handle everything so well. If you need a story to motivate you - give this one a read. I wish her the best always... as she's had her fair share of hard times.

PERSEVERANCE

This book touched my heart as soon as I read the first chapter.It's easy to read with excellent continuity. Being in the IT field, I loved how it chronicled the technology. I also loved how it told the truth about the difficulty breaking the glass ceiling even when you're the smartest kid on the block.This book is honest, moving, and triumphant. I can relate to all of Soraya's emotions - our circumstances may have been different, but the emotions are very much the same. I'm recommending it to all my friends.

An enthralling memoir that I didn't want to end!

___________________*****_____________________I couldn't put book this down and as a rersult I read it until the wee hours. This wonderful book made me laugh and cry and left me longing for more. Soraya overcame the imposed limitations of growing up in Brazil's male dominated society . She launched the first satellite in Brazil and became a famous Engineer. She came to America where she started all over by washing dishes. Soraya went to create and orchestrate one of the most successful websites for Microsoft. Soraya is a brilliant visionary with a pioneers sense of adventure. I wish there were more books of this caliber. I hope that Soraya continues to write more books.

What a message of hope and perseverance!

I read a lot and it is rare that I find a book like this one. The story is engaging, easy to read, and really encouraging! It made me think on the many things I did not do for lack of courage and now I fell like I need to focus on those goals and just do them. If you are looking for a good read, read this one. It shows how is important to fight for what you beleive in!
