Nainen on luotu Jumalan kuvaksi samalla tavoin kuin mieskin, ja tietoisuus tästä auttaa meitä kohtelemaan molempia samalla tavoin. Toinen Eeva on rohkea puheenvuoro täyden ihmisyyden puolesta. Bette Boersma kirjoittaa oman kokemuksensa pohjalta elämästä Jumalan kuvana, naisena ja Jumalan palvelijana. Hän kirjoittaa selkeästi ja selittää Raamattua kansantajuisesti. Boersma kuvaa matkaansa kivusta vapauteen rehellisesti ja aidosti. Hän etsii ja löytää vastauksia kysymyksiin, jotka ympäröivä kulttuuri nostaa mietittäviksi. Kirjoittaessaan tätä kirjaa Bette Boersma sai taustatukea ja rohkaisua Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) -yhdistyksen paikallisosastolta. CBE on myös tehnyt kirjaa tunnetuksi esittelemällä sitä kansainvälisissä konferensseissa ja omassa aineistoluettelossaan. Kirjan ilmestymisen jälkeen Bette ja hänen aviomiehensä Hank olivat mukana perustamassa omalle paikkakunnalleen uutta seurakuntaa, jossa he nykyään käyvät.
