Originally this book was centered on identifying only one hundred women until Mrs. Michelle Obama became the first African American First Lady; thus it became apparent that she had to be added to this list thereby she became the one hundred and one most influential women in my life. I can truly begin and end appropriately when I refer to the women who had a profound effect on me and my life extends from my little white house on a dirt road in Bulloch County Georgia to the White House located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC. I am not sure just how many of the readers will receive my reference to scripture as I will often refer to but I want to start with a quote: “give honor to where honor is due; and tribute tow where tribute is due.” These one hundred and one women stories and lives have certainly influenced me, guided me, taught me and help to prepare me to live and have a wholesome and wealthy life whereby it is has contributed to my entire wellness. Wholeness, wealth and wellness come in a variety of ways; however, often times they are not easily recognized because they are not in a materialistic appearance which can be touched or perceived. It is now my esteemed pleasure to introduce you to the women of honor who contributed too much to me. I was able to look beyond my economic, social, financial circumstances into a new realm of endless possibilities.

It's the 1950s, and the author and her husband have taken over a grocery shop in a rather bleak, sooty suburb of Doncaster in Yorkshire. These were the days before supermarkets made their appearance, and they have to do battle with a constant 'ebb and flow' of local customers. Their 'star turn', for instance, Mrs Jay, a fat little woman of about sixty, with pink cheeks. She frequently outstays her welcome, and, bosom propped up on the counter, relates the most intimate details of her life without even blushing. The author has many hilarious and entertaining incidents to share. However, over time, she and her husband become disillusioned with the hard-luck stories of customers who want goods on 'tick', yet subsequently, are very loathe to part with their money. Eventually, they become desperate to move to a cleaner and more prosperous environment. But how easy will that be? Will they ever realise their dream?
