'sa' instead of 'ta'?

Should the sentence, "Et puis, qui sait, ce sera peut-être le texte le plus marquant de toute sa carrière ?" read 'ta carrière' instead of "sa carrière"? Otherwise, who are they referring to -- her publisher?

Bonjour Sydney, 

Yes, the 'sa' refers to the publisher's career.

Bone Continuation !

J'ai eu la meme question. Ce n'etait pas tres evident, mais je comprends l'explication. 

Peut-etre une note dessous la phrase aurait aide a comprendre.

This is an update from the person who originally posted the Question. ... I didn't know I had to include the context from where I got the example, I assumed it linked automatically to the exercise, test or quiz it came from. It was from one of the exercises presented in Friday's Weekend workout, "Carpe Diem". I went back & looked it up, I think it was the C1 exercise, "Les dernières hésitations d'une écrivaine". 

   I hope this clarifies the matter.
