Best Book Editors Review

So this one is a very personal RECOMMENDATION

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT.

My daughter-in-law lost her grandma who she was very close to. Grandma left her with questions that she never thought to ask.

The other day she rang up with a request to fill this book in. She bought one for me and one for her mother and she’s going to fill in one herself for her kids.

It is a book of questions for future generations to *know* their relative. You fill the book in a little at a time or, like me, binge it in 24 hours.

While possibly unintentional, especially for people with less-than-perfect childhoods, some of the questions make you go deep. This is not a bad thing, it makes you think about what you’d like to reply for future generations to read about what shaped your life.

Example: What advice would you give to your teenage self? What would you have done differently?

Example: Were any of your children “surprises.” …steady! 🙂

My favourite question purely because of the date at the time of answering: When did you last vote?
My Reply: Today Wow! …4 July 2024.Day of the UK General Election.

And yes, there are Dad versions, too.

This is a lovely gift to leave for your children and grandchildren when you’re no longer here. I recommend this for every family. It’s a beautiful gift.

The Best Gift on Amazon

I can’t speak highly enough about this journal. The sad reality is that our parents won’t be here with us forever… but what better way to preserve their memory than to help them share their stories? While these prompts are intriguing and thought-provoking, they’re also straightforward and concise. I just gifted this to my Mom a few weeks ago and had to order the Dad version for Father’s Day because my family has enjoyed my Mom’s so much. It’s been a wonderful bonding tool and provided a new lens for me to experience life through my Mom’s eyes—childhood, likes/dislikes, passions, regrets, aspirations, life lessons, and growth.

I can confidently say that is timeless, priceless gift is easily one of my best Amazon purchases. Couldn’t recommend more.

I purchased this book for my friend, so she could share it with her family.
It has brought up so many memories, most of which she hadn’t thought of, and even forgotten about. This book is just as important to her as it is to her family. She loves it ! A wonderful and caring gift. That’s what she said !

Good Gift for Capturing Family Stories and Memories

I recently gave my mom this journal, and it has turned out to be a fantastic gift choice. Every once in a while, she would share the most random but fascinating anecdotes or stories about her life, and I often found myself unsure of how to ask her to share more.

This journal has become a wonderful way for her to document those memories. Not only is she enjoying writing down her stories, but it also means that we can keep a treasured collection of her memories at our family house. It’s heartwarming to know that future generations will be able to read about her life and experiences. This journal has brought us closer and preserved our family history in a beautiful way. Highly recommend!

Additionally, my mom loves to read so awesome to see her write her own story for others to read!
