Throughout the book, John McCreedy takes the reader on a journey, examining the turbulent story of Hagar and what her story teaches us today about contemporary issues such as the refugee crisis, modern day slavery, racism, and homelessness.

The book concludes by looking at the subject of forgiveness and using the story of the unlikely reconciliation between Ishmael and Isaac, presents a view of a possible peace through Jesus Christ between all three Abrahamic faiths: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism and other religions.
