Kellie, a twenty-nine-year-old woman with Down syndrome, describes events from her youth such as the high school prom, activities she enjoys, and how she currently lives. The book's illustrations are Kellie's own drawings, which, though childlike, show emotion. Numerous family snapshots at book's end highlight Kellie's joyful personality and enthusiasm.
