This is a concise and easy to read book of "motherly" advice from someone whose life has been hard enough. It is full of tidbits of hard-earned wisdom of a woman who went from stumbling through and surviving to peace and thriving. It is ground-breaking only in the sense that it isn't ground-breaking. It is real, genuine advice with application for real people in their day-to-day lives. Listening to the words of someone who has been a villain and a hero in many a story may just inspire and/or comfort you through your own journey.
