After the publication of the novelised biography of Michael Bennett, Alma Webb steps in to address rampant sensationalism and rapidly-circulating rumours. She tells her own unembellished life story, deeply entwined with Michael's, and reveals not just his innermost battles, but the timid little girl that would grow into the quietly stalwart Alma (Webb) Bennett. She explores all angles of womanhood not commonly discussed in polite society, and how they shaped her as a human being, and does not distance herself from these aspects of her life, but puts herself at the centre and views them from the outside, encouraging herself and others to examine and question the societal conditions that are often taken for granted. She wanted to be heard from her own voice, not solely someone else's, as loss and life changes force her to rebuild the foundation of her life. Misconceptions and accusations and confronted head-on, and those who have had the same experiences in life can find comfort in her words. Those who have not can find understanding.
