This work provides a personal narrative detailing the author's life experiences, including his early family life in New England, educational pursuits, and eventual career in journalism, reflecting his journey from a strict Puritan upbringing to a more liberated perspective. At the start of the autobiography, Stillman emphasizes the influential role of his mother in his upbringing, shaping his character and moral foundation. He recalls her deeply religious yet often conflicting values, how her Puritanical ideals shaped their family life, and the cultural context of New England at the time, especially regarding religious observance.
