Each chapter is introduced by an original drawing of a house the author's family lived in; and each is comprised of stories about actual events as remembered by the author, the youngest of four girls. Her nieces and nephews often asked her to tell stories about what life was like when she and their mothers were growing up during the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Eventually, their interest inspired her to keep the stories safe in book form. As the poet, Alfred Nicol notes in his review, "This delightful book reminds me of something the poet A. E. Stallings said: 'All grown-up reading is trying to get back into the secret garden of childhood reading.' Whoever opens to the first pages of House Holds will find a short-cut to that secret garden."
