“I ordered for my father, and he enjoys answering the questions and building a book to leave us kids. It’s one of the best presents I’ve ever given him. I highly recommend this to all those adult children looking for a special gift for their older family members.”

“This was gifted by my daughter and is definitely worth the time. What I got in the end is simply stunning. The book itself was lovely, and it was wonderful to be able to share stories with my daughter that I had never told her before.”

Hear it from our Customers
My children gave me this as a Xmas present. Brilliant idea! They wanted my life story before I forget it all!!! I have really enjoyed writing it!
Your customer service has been incredible ! So prompt and kind and helpful. Thank you for helping make a very special birthday gift come to life.
I’ve procrastinated for years about writing about my life. I received this wonderful opportunity from my son-in-law as a gift. I love that it gives me a question or topic to address. It’s reflective for me and encourages me to look back and share about my life experiences. I’ve had a wonderful life as a nurse, pastors wife, mother, missionary and a business owner. Such a wonderful life!
Thank you for developing a wonderful platform to gather and share my thoughts.
The website is easy to use and easy to uplift photos.
However, the reason for not giving 5 stars is that there was only the option to uplift one photo. I see that on the new version it is possible.
I loved the experience
Not only is it a lasting memory for my family but a chance for me to do some reflecting of my experiences as a youth growing up.
It's also an opportunity to get out the old scrapbooks and photo albums and relive those times.
Rather than leaving a bunch of random pictures, I can keep and pass on just meaningful moments captured in time for my decendants to enjoy.
My daughter gifted me this for my birthday in July and I love the concept. I look forward to the weekly question and figuring out how to answer. Having the option to purchase more books is a plus also. Definitely looking forward to the final book and being able to share my life story with my children.
I contacted the Support Team on a few occasions and each time they sorted out my issues with efficiency and competence. First class service.
I positive suggestion l make is that when going through the questions for the first time it would be useful to have them numbered. My experience
This was given to me as a gift and I never thought I would like to write, but it has proved to be a great tool to get my memories down for future generations. Especially my daughters. I would have loved to read this from my own parents. The site it simple to use and if you want to add your own questions or miss a question that is no problem. You can take your time in answering them which is great. Looking forward to finishing mine to see the printed result. :-)
Being prompted weekly with potential questions is very helpful. The recent improvement of being able to add multiple photos is excellent. The system works well especially the automatic save facility which ensures work is not lost. I’m still not sure if there is a maximum number of words because I cannot see this anywhere. So far it has been an enjoyable experience.
It is a wonderful way to preserve memories and pass them down to family. It is easy to use and my elderly dad (in his 90s) enjoyed the experience.
My daughter gifted me this for my birthday in April this year.
I found some of the early questions difficult to answer as both my parents have passed away and my memories only start from about age three.
One thing I am pleased about is that I can skip questions or tweak them to how I want to respond.
I have noticed as the weeks progress I am reminiscing more and remembering long forgotten memories from my younger years.
This book will be a very special gift for future generations to cherish when I am gone.
I love the whole concept of "my life in a book" I always wanted something for my kids and grandkids to look at and remember their mother and grandmother and her stories. Since not everybody is an author this concept is the perfect way to get everything of concern and importance gathered up. The questions help to not forget any parts. I also love the picture option and the many different templets to choose from. This is a great business idea that I support and recommend to anybody. I gave "my life in a book" as a gift to my in-laws, then to my husband and now I am doing it myself.
