At a young age, she and her family moved to California. Gibbs spent much of her life in Yolo County. This is the author's first book. Excerpt from the back panel of the dust wrapper: "When [Gibbs] was twelve, she discovered her two hobbies. The first was her passionate interest in Napoleon, the second was writing. She has combined the two. ... Her professional life, in addition to newspaper work, has included such activities as taxicab driving and horse breaking--but she has now returned to reporting. Tell Your Sons is the culmination of fourteen years of study." Excerpt from the front and back flaps of the dust wrapper: "[Tell Your Sons] is a story of warm human emotion and cloak-and-dagger suspense, a story of men and women caught in the web of Napoleon's amazing personality, a story with a conclusion for men to tell their sons.".
