In the foreword, Beatton explains that many people had encouraged him to write his story over the years. It was eventually his children who asked him to record his memories as part of his legacy. He began writing at the age of 68, choosing to focus on the events that had a deep impact on his life.
This book is a memoir. It shares what he clearly remembers and what he believes is worth passing on. The writing is honest and reflective, and it moves step by step through different seasons of his life.
