Having had a revelation in her seventy-ninth year that she was a very happy old lady, despite the normal troubles and woes of life on a fallen planet, Rita was inspired to write a spiritual autobiography exploring the reasons for this happy state. Upon reflection, she realized that her entire life had been lived in the goodness of God and that she was a very blessed person. She determined to write a book of gratitude and thanksgiving to glorify the Lord, using her life story as a framework to tell how God had faithfully intervened in her life to shape her into the person He had created her to be.
