Addressed essentially to a Christian audience, the book is written with compassion and imagination that give it a wider appeal.  Any woman seeking meaning and spiritual clarity in the midst of coping with breast cancer would be likely to find practical encouragement, usable stories, and prompts for personal reflection in it.  The organization allows it to be read not only as one woman's story but also as a kind of handbook for the journey. Short sections on particular problems, each illustrated with well-told anecdotes from various women's experiences, make it a book to "dip into," as well as one to read through as a record of a courageous and surprising journey.
