Kitabu " Si Chini ya Ukuu" kilijadili uhusiano wa kibinadamu: ndoa ambazo pia ni ushirika, ukaribu unaoendelea na wanafamilia, na vifungo vyenye afya vya maisha yote. Alijadili dhana kama vile mtoto wa ndani, mawazo tendaji, na mbinu za kukabiliana na uchokozi wa kimahusiano.

Kitabu kilipitishwa na harakati ya uwezo wa mwanadamu. Carter, Andrew. "Aces of Trades: Walston helping people through life coaching". The Marion Star.

 Maudhui 
Kitabu hiki kilikusudiwa kimsingi kufundisha juu ya "kanuni za kiroho" za "kupata upendo na kuishi katika upendo mkamilifu." Sura ziliisha na "Hubadilisha Mawazo" na mazoezi kama vile taswira ya kiakili na maswali. "Nonfiction Book Review: NO LESS THAN GREATNESS". Publishers Weekly. 7 August 2001.

Morrissey alisimulia hadithi yake: Alichaguliwa kuwa "mfalme" wa darasa lake, lakini alipata mimba akiwa na miaka 16, na alifukuzwa shule yake ya upili. Alikuwa ameolewa kwa miaka 26, akawa mama wa watoto wanne, talaka na kuolewa tena.  "Nonfiction Book Review: NO LESS THAN GREATNESS". Publishers Weekly. 7 August 2001.

Hoja kuu ya kitabu ni kwamba mahusiano mazuri yanaundwa kwa makusudi, na si kwa bahati. Aliandika kwa undani zaidi juu ya mchakato wa mawasiliano kati ya wanandoa, haswa juu ya njia ya kusikiliza kwa bidii. Mchakato huu ulianzishwa na Carl Rogers na Virginia Satir, lakini Mary Morrissey alipanua dhana na kuongeza kanuni ambazo alijifunza binafsi kutokana na kukutana kwake na Dalai Lama :Kusikiliza sio shughuli ya kupita kawaida. Ni mazoezi ya kiroho. Tunapozungumza kidogo, tunasikiliza zaidi. Jizoeze kutomkatiza kwa kusikiliza sio maneno tu bali pia ukimya kati ya maneno. Mahusiano yanayoridhisha pande zote mbili hayatokei kwa bahati mbaya; tunawaumba. Kupitia usikilizaji wa kweli, tunaweza kutuma ujumbe: "Ni muhimu kwako ni muhimu kwangu."

 Ukosoaji 
Kitabu hakikupata upendeleo mwingi miongoni mwa wakosoaji; Publishers Weekly iliandika kwamba kitabu hicho "kinatoa ushauri wa busara uliotolewa kutoka kwa Biblia na Kozi ya Miujiza, kikishughulikia mada kama vile msamaha, sala, ibada, kusikiliza na matambiko."
