The book details Campell's career from her first election to the Vancouver School Board in 1983 to becoming the Prime Minister of Canada in 1993, as well as some details about her childhood and family. It ends just after her resignation. [1] Many of its details are based on a journal kept by Campbell's stepdaughter during her election campaign.
