What you're giving them
160+ guided prompts across childhood, love, hardship, wisdom, and hopes for the next generation.
Step one
Hand it over with a simple explanation: "I want to know your story before it's gone." The prompts take it from there — no pressure, no blank page anxiety. They can write alone or answer aloud while you write for them.
Step two
One prompt over morning coffee. That's all it takes. Over a few months, an ordinary Sunday becomes the afternoon you'll both remember — and a completed biography your family will treasure for generations.
Step three
Put on the Time Machine playlist — 60 years of era-appropriate music that unlocks memory better than any prompt. Then use the Interview Masterclass to surface the hidden, heartfelt stories you'd otherwise miss.

"We use it at the nursing home. My grandmother's face when she sees us bring it out — that's worth everything."
Stella M. · Toronto, CA
"My grandad served in the military and never spoke about it. Three prompts in and he told us things he'd kept for forty years."
Theo R. · Manchester, UK
"Ordered last minute — it arrived in two days. Mum was thrilled, she'd answered 40 prompts before I came back."
Logan M. · Chicago, US
