本书采用纪实手法，对人物和事件的叙述引用了大量日记，真实地记载了一个平凡的母亲，面对一个智商不高的独生子，如何痛苦地调整“期待值”、确立培养目标、接受各种磨砺，从而使孩子根据自己的能力极限，不自暴自弃，努力踏上自食其力之路。作者追根寻源，从母亲本人的成长经历，探讨和解释奠定她价值观及教育理念的形成基础。在中国生活的四十二年，留给她的最终还是一个普通中国女人对同胞的满满真情。
对异国他乡之旅，作者原封不动地展示了一个华人眼中全新的社会体系和风土人情、难以言表的生存挣扎和不间断的学习。那些故事中的甜酸苦辣，作者尽量不予以评论，意在给读者更大品味和思考的空间。
作者愿意同中国大陆的母亲们、出生在五六十年代的同龄人、那些不认为自己是“天才儿童”的孩子们和每一个为生存而努力的普通人，分享曾经的失败、心痛、感悟和改变。
