Langley knows that hurt is hurt, no matter what the catalyst. Her goal with the book is to have a conversation of sorts with the reader, to discuss topics that people don't often talk about - yet want to.

Langley knows that everyone has a story to tell and that everyone's life has value.

Her goal is to be a positive influence on those she meets, that's why her columns are positive in tone, even though they may deal with negative or difficult issues.

She makes a point of ending each column with her take on an Irish blessing: "May peace be with you." And for those who read her book, that's great advice for getting through all of life's changes.
