Bona presents a personal narrative of his grandmother, Beverly Bona, through personal interviews with his grandfather, an uncle, an aunt and his father. Bona groups each small story into three categories: "because of you", "wife and mother", and "spiritual stories". Bona analyzes the role that his grandmother has played in the shaping of other people, particularly his family and himself.
