The tale that Opal Earp Pounds tells is that of a farm girl, born in 1920 near Stroud, Oklahoma, of grandparents who had homesteaded. After finishing high school, she married and gave birth to three children. In 1952 she underwent a Christian conversion, and after that her story is colored by her desire to be a good Christian mother. Her tale as a whole belongs to the sub-genre of conversion narrative.

Opal Earp Pounds died in 2007. This book was edited by her children Gerry Pounds Robideaux and Wayne Pounds. Gerry writes, "I am a retired grandmother. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading, traveling, music (oldies and Gospel) and last, but not least, genealogy.” Wayne is a retired university prof. He enjoys writing poetry and factual narratives based on historical data. He has lived in Japan for the past thirty years and loves the same thing his sister loves--except for traveling, which he feels he's already taken far enough.
