There are a couple of chapters dedicated to showing "hospitality" to the nuclear family, and the joy of adoption. There are already so many resources to help women care for their families; I would have liked an acknowledgment that when it is discussed in the Bible, hospitality is meant for strangers. Also, a recognition that everyone is in a different life stage. The book seemed aimed primarily at women aged 25-50, who are married with children.
At one point, the author equates introversion with shyness. (They're not the same! The book was published recently enough that I think this inaccuracy should have been caught and corrected.)
Most unfortunately, I only had access to the audiobook version of this, and I really didn't care for the narrator. Her inflections just didn't fit the text.
This isn't a bad book by any means, but there are a couple others I'd recommend first:
