What did your partner look like the first time you saw them, down to what they were wearing?
An open printed memoir on a wooden table, its right-hand page opening chapter four, "The Things We Kept"

What you'll hold

Their life in their own words.

A real book for your shelf, and one day for their grandchildren's.

Questions you might have

“Dad isn't a writer.”
He doesn't need to be. He answers in his own words, like he's talking to you. When he gets stuck, a few gentle questions help him say more.
“She's not good with computers.”
It's simple. One question on the screen at a time, and she can type or just speak her answers. If she can write an email, she can do this.
“What if they don't finish?”
No rush. They can write a little at a time and come back whenever they like. The book prints when they're ready.
“Can I get a copy too?”
Yes. When they order their book, they can add copies for the whole family. They can also make it their own, from the cover to the binding, with some upgrades at an extra cost.

$99 includes their printed book.

One price and no subscription. Gifts never expire.
