Most of the selections in this book are songs that were recorded or performed but never released on albums. Kate was a prolific songwriter, and there wasn't nearly enough time or album space to release everything she wanted. The book is ordered chronologically, providing an interesting glimpse into the development of her songs. A section of the book is devoted to songs that Kate wrote but never set to music. They are presented as poetry.

There was a humanity in her singing, a generosity of spirit that never failed to move me. With Kate, the message was always --- always -- love. I never met a warmer-hearted person than Kate Wolf -- ever.
- Tom Paxton (from the Foreword)

In addition to the foreword by Tom Paxton, the book includes a lengthy introduction discussing many of the lesser known songs. We also wanted to present how Kate felt about her songs, so we culled excerpts from hundreds of concert and radio tapes, resulting in insightful quotes of Kate's own words.

Like the first songbook, there are many photos, but this time we've also included several concert posters. These feature photos of Kate and many musicians with whom she headlined. In addition, the book has a complete-to-date discography.
