The book explores the concept of procreation as a sacred act unique to humans, contrasting it with mere reproduction in the animal kingdom. It critiques modernism's challenge to traditional marriage, highlighting its impact on procreation, including the acceptance of same-sex relationships, contraceptives, and artificial reproductive technologies. The author examines how Igbo culture navigates these modern influences while traditionally valuing procreation within marriage. Through interviews and research, the work juxtaposes modernism, Catholic teachings, and Igbo cultural practices.
