ON A TIGHT BUDGET?

Stories to Last Profile Book

Our stories are one of the greatest legacies we can share. But memories unwritten or unrecorded fade away.

I call the phase of life I’m in the “Bookend Years.” On one end, my parents are moving into old age and need more care. I know the details of their memories are starting to fade. On the other end are children who need college tuition and a full refrigerator. Yeah, there’s budget considerations.

But I want my parents to have the chance to reflect on and share their lifetime of stories. And I want my children and their children to know their roots, to feel a sense of belonging, the security of family.

Even if you’re on a tight budget, you don’t have to let that stop you from capturing your parents’ or grandparents’ stories now! Before it’s too late.

CUSTOM SCALED

All Stories to Last books and materials are customized to suit you. Consider creating a shorter book, based on two or three hours of interview, illustrated with a few pictures. Or have us use our expertise to interview your parent and present their life story in a book containing the lightly-edited and well-organized interview.

Most importantly, get those stories while you can! For organizations and businesses, this is equally true for charter members, company founders and early clients and charitable recipients.

Not doing this with my grandparents was one of my motivations for starting Stories to Last.
