Bannos does her best to tell the whole story of Vivian Maier and the world that raised her. The book is split into two narratives that alternate in sections. One goes into the specifics of the sale of her work and its aftermath, while the other starts with her family history in France and chronicles Vivian's life. The modern-day narrative provides essential context about who owns her work and how she grew to be famous after she died, but the more compelling story is the one where Bannos uses her research and Maier's own photography to build a timeline of Maier's life. It is an intermingling of art history and biography, and readers will appreciate Bannos' lessons in photography history for the uninitiated.

That summer marked her birth as a serious street photographer. As she turned twenty-eight, her compositions became more deliberate and her approaches favored nuanced interactions rather than the split-second decisive moments of other street photographers. She favored intimate personal images incorporating shadows and self-portraits. Vivian Maier found her photographic voice, writes Bannos.
