The poems in this book (over 70 poems) reflect on life during the early part of the 20th century in Saskatchewan. It includes poems about life - from "An Everyday Hero" who plants and carefully tends his garden in order to feed his family, to wondering if the memories of "The Prisoner" "wound him like a sabre thrust" when he thinks "of sunrise on a lonely prairie farm". She writes about a broad spectrum of subjects, such as "An Old Chinaman" in his laundry shop, to "The Stay-At-Homes" who though they envy her life of travel, are really the ones to be envied because they have "the shelter of a kindly home", a marriage partner and children. Many of her poems also reference her Christian faith, sermons, prayers, and the spoken word. The book offers a glimpse into a simpler time, although they were physically harder times.
The book is "lovingly dedicated to my dear friend, Nellie L. McClung".
