The book explores her family history, including her famous parents: her mom, Mary Wollstonecraft, who fought for women's rights, and her dad, William Godwin, a smart writer. The story also shows how Mary grew up and started thinking for herself, and how her relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley began.

The author wants to show that Mary Shelley was important on her own, not just because of her famous husband, and how her childhood helped her become a great author.
