The first part of the story explains how Virgil's ancestors from Europe all arrived at that small region called Woodland, Indiana. Emphasis is on what was going on in that part of each one's world to cause them to migrate to this country and eventually to that spot in Indiana. Wars, religious intolerance, and decisions by the various kings or queens were the driving forces that caused so many to leave their homelands and look for better conditions. Life on a farm during the Great Depression and World War II is described in some detail. The emotional devastation upon learning of the deaths of two brothers in that war took a heavy toll on the Mochel Family.

The second part deals with the many varied experiences of Virgil and Marian as they traveled their life-journey together, up to the present time.

In the course of time, I lived through an incredible experience. It began around the time my wife and I renewed our wedding vows. It was from that point forward my health began to decline. I went through the loss of appetite and energy, until I was left to nothing at all. It was from there that I went into the hospital. I traveled from hospital to hospital until I ended up in North Carolina. Over an 8-week period of time, after tests, IVs, blood transfusions and other medical treatment. I was discharged from the hospital feeling like a new person.
