Spanier draws on hundreds of pages of letters containing a wealth of new information about Boyle's life, works, literary relationships, and current activities. Boyle has provided Spanier with unpublished documents and works in progress, yellowed news clippings and book reviews, and detailed notes in which she reacted to this work.

In plain, straightforward language, she examines the forces that propelled the small community through the war and how it continued to thrive into the twenty-first century.
