 The book primarily focuses on the journey of the Maharani - beginning with her adoption and upbringing alongside the Junior Maharani Sethu Parvathi Bayi, her Regency during the minority of the Junior Maharani's son (and heir to the Throne) Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma and the subsequent tensions that ensued between both the Maharanis after the termination of her Regency and the reign of the Maharaja.The book also chronicles the journey of her children as they departed from Kerala and breaking away from lifestyles of the Travancore Royal Family (which she herself later did when she moved to Bangalore), their adaptation to the era of the Indian Independence Movement and the subsequent dismantling of the monarchy during the formation of the Dominion of India.It also touches upon moments of historical significance, such as the development of Cochin Port during the Maharani's reign, the Temple Entry Proclamation and the rise of Communism in Kerala during the subsequent reign of Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma.
