"I hope Betty would love what I've written about her," Patty said. "She had no knowledge I was doing this, and I hadn't intended for it to be between hard cover, but I hope this will mark the first year of her passing with keeping her legacy alive, her beautiful strength, her beautiful gift to all of life. I hope that's what will happen in these next couple of weeks." "I hope this will mark the first year of her passing with keeping her legacy alive, her beautiful strength, her beautiful gift to all of life."

Sullivan met White and her husband Allen Ludden in the late 1960s when the two were performing in Cape Cod, while Sullivan's husband Tom Sullivan was starting his music career performing at a local restaurant. White and Ludden would come into the restaurant after their performances, and "instantly fell in love with" Tom's performances.
