The book opens with an insightful biography and exclusive interview with Sarah Mullally by journalist Tim Wyatt, helping us to better understand her qualities as a person, as a pastor and as a leader. This is followed by ten short chapters by prominent Anglican writers, each outlining the background and scale of the most significant challenges facing Archbishop Sarah as the new leader of the Church of England. The Afterword by Rowan Williams offers words of solidarity from someone who has been there before.

The chapters and writers are: Spirituality (Mark Oakley), Mission (Chantal Noppen), Anglican Unity (Amatu Christian-Iwuagwu), Safeguarding (Andrew Graystone), Climate Crisis (Ruth Valerio), Same-Sex Marriage (Charlie Bell), Transgender Inclusion (Christina Beardsley), Disability Inclusion (Emily Richardson), Poverty (Jon Kuhrt), Nationalism and Racism (Eileen Harrop). Each chapter is written candidly but constructively, in a spirit of hope, and ends with a prayer for strength and support for Archbishop Sarah.
