The sculpture was created by artists in Ann Arbor. It depicts a trio of figures central to Catholic faith: Jesus, shown as a young boy, emerging from a Bible touched by his mother, Mary, and his grandmother Anne. Catholics refer to St. Anne as the patron saint of Detroit, a title that the Vatican affirmed in 2011.
