This book portrays 58 years in the life of Major Maurice Smith, son of black pioneer Salvation Army officers , as a single, married, and finally, as a single-parent officer in The Salvation Army. The book is divided into five sections: the first three sections deals with (1) living in Memphis during segregation (1948-1960); (2) Living in Washington, D. C. during the civil rights struggle (1960-1968); and (3) at the Salvation Army School for Officer Training in Atlanta (1966-1968). The next four sections are tied to his life as a Salvation Army officer in the four Salvation Army territories in the USA: (4) In the South (1968-1973); (5) the West (1973-1978); (6) with my engagement and Marriage (1978-1985); and (7) in the East. The story is told in an unusual way: it is told through songs he remembered and how it affected him along his journey.
