Through a series of engaging and thought-provoking chapters, Meberg invites readers to open up their hearts and confront the secrets that have been holding them back.

Meberg is a devout Christian, and she draws upon biblical teachings and spiritual practices to offer a holistic approach to healing. However, she is also respectful of readers who may not share her beliefs, and she is careful to avoid proselytizing or exclusionary language. Overall, "The Zippered Heart" is a powerful and moving exploration of the human spirit and the healing power of love, compassion, and community.
