Breathnach begins the book by reflecting on her own childhood, and the ways in which the stories she heard from her family and friends shaped her. She writes about the bedtime stories her mother told her, the fairy tales she read on her own, and the stories she overheard her parents and siblings telling each other.

As Breathnach grew older, she began to realize that the stories she had heard were not just entertainment. They were also lessons in life. They taught her about love, loss, hope, and courage. They helped her to understand herself and the world around her.

In "All The Words Should Have Said," Breathnach shares stories of her own life, as well as stories of people she has met along the way. She writes about the time she was diagnosed with cancer, the loss of her husband, and her journey to find healing and hope.

Through her stories, Breathnach shows us the power of storytelling to heal, inspire, and bring us together. She reminds us that we are all connected, and that our stories have the power to change the world.
