Written as a letter addressed to his two children, who died of an incurable disease, Bastarache recounts his constant fight for equality between francophone and anglophone communities. He reminisces on his commitment among groups protecting francophones outside Qubec, then on his careers as teacher, civil servant, lawyer, and judge.

He also weighs in on the controversy surrounding the Inquiry Commission on the process for appointing judges of the Court of Qubec, as well as his mediator work for reconciliation and compensation of alleged victims of sexual abuse by ex-priests in New Brunswick.
