Many of the stories concern her childhood in Sacramento, including her mother's role in the household, her experiences with religion, and her education. Several sections describe López y Galarza's elementary education in detail, including learning English and the program of Americanization at her elemenary school, which had a significant population of immigrant children, including Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, and Mexican Americans. Other sections describe her father's opposition to her choice to attend college and become an American citizen, her career as a health educator at Los Angeles County General Hospital, and a visit to her birthplace in Jalcocotán with her daughter in 1972. Accompanied by a manuscript note from López y Galarza to a friend describing the process of writing the memoir and sharing family news, 1984
