Estés had been producing popular audiotapes of her stories and research and was approached by publishers to turn them into a book.[1]
The stories printed in the book were given to her from her family, people she met on her travels, or her patients, as part of her work. The author sees the stories as a way to hand over knowledge about the cycles of life and forms of healing, and also as forms of art which can be used for healing and helping people along the way.[4]
