It also indicates the journey of the author while she was set to make sense of life through herself.

At the same time, it also gives the readers an opportunity to take a plunge into the world of spirituality and empower their connection with the divine. While it helps them place their faith once again, it also reinforces the hope they have in spirituality and the relationship with the divine. The manner in which the author writes the content in the book also makes it easy to understand. She speaks to the readers directly and uses a very concise style of conveying her point.
