Your parents simply tell their stories out loud, in their own words. Your family records short answers to ready weekly questions — and we turn their voice into a printed hardcover book with a private audio edition, so children and grandchildren keep the real voice forever.
See a real sample book Packages & pricingThe senior does nothing technical: no app, no password, no typing. The family does the recording; we do everything else.
Each week we send one or two simple, memory-sparking questions: childhood, hometown, first job, family, the journey here.
Sit with your parent, read the question, and record on any phone. Each answer takes just 5 to 15 minutes.
The recordings are transcribed and polished in the storyteller's own voice, family photos are placed, and the book is designed. You see and approve the complete book before anything is printed.
A printed hardcover book plus a private family audio edition. A listening code beside every chapter plays the storyteller's actual voice on any phone.
Stories can be told in any language. Every book includes an English edition for the whole family; a second-language edition in the storyteller's own language is available in the Premium package.
This sample was created with a fictional storyteller, so you can see exactly what your family will receive. In a real book, the voice beside every chapter is your own parent's.
“My name is Karim Ahmadi. I was born in 1948 in Shiraz, in a house whose smell I can still find whenever I close my eyes: orange blossom, fresh bread, and the earth my mother watered every morning so the dust would settle… My father was a baker. Once, when I was seven, he let me take a loaf out of the oven myself for the first time. The bread came out half-burnt, but my father folded it, put it in the cloth, and said: This is Karim's bread. Today, we eat Karim's bread for lunch.”
