Throughout her life, she has questions about religion and its certain rules. She primarily finds it difficult to understand some teachings, and notices that not all followers practice what they preach. However, as she grows older, she learns and discovers her own identity and relationship with God. Through personal and spiritual growth, she finds that freedom is imperative for our individual development. Through this book, the author shares personal experiences, observations, and perspectives of religion, brainwashing, and spirituality.

She develops a relationship with herself and God that improves her character and allows her to find the answers to some childhood questions.
