This book is a collection of talks Elder Holland has given about many different subjects. It offers hope to all who feel "broken" whether by something they have done, or by someone else. Elder Holland offers reassurance that anyone, in any situation, will find peace and healing if they will come to Christ.

I found many, many situations described in the book that were very similar to my own experiences, and that gave more meaning to what I was reading. I could really relate to what Elder Holland was saying, and that helped me to feel more hope and reassurance for myself.

The main point of the book, explained from many different angles and viewpoints, is that if we will focus on the Savior and come unto Him, we will be healed. Keep a box of tissues handy.
