You taught me to drive in the Kroger parking lot. Sundays, in your old '88 Ford Ranger. It was stick. The first day, I stalled it about eleven times. Every time, you said one word. Again.
One day you won't be able to ask. Keep their story now.
Answer a few questions about Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa and add one photo. We write and paint their real story into a hardcover book. Nobody has to write a word.

Nobody writes a word. Nobody records a thing. You tell us what you remember, and their story is kept.
Pages from a sample book
The Wifi Reaches
The true story of Tom, as told by Meg
You worked nights at the plant my whole childhood. You still came to every swim meet. Straight from work, in your boots. One time you fell asleep sitting up in the bleachers. You woke up exactly when my race started.
You had already cleared out the garage room. You had put a desk in it. You never said one word about it. You just said, “The wifi reaches.”
How it works
1
Tell us what you remember
A few questions about them and one photo. About three minutes, and you can talk instead of type.
2
See it first, free
We write their story and paint them into it. Read the cover and first pages before you pay.
3
Keep it forever
Read every page and ask for changes if anything is off. Once you approve it, we print the hardcover.
Still with us, or remembering them
Still with us
Give it while they can read it. Their first job, how you met, the thing they always say. Watch them find their own life on the page, painted in their likeness.
Remembering them
For someone you miss. Pick “In memory” and we write it to them, about the life they lived. A book the whole family can read aloud, and keep.

Questions
Can I make one for someone who has passed away?
Yes. Pick “In memory” when we ask what the book is for. We write it to them, warmly, about the life they lived. We never describe an illness or a death unless you tell us to.
What if I don't remember much?
A few small things are enough: something they always said, a place, a habit. We ask simple questions with examples, and you can add more after you order.
Do they have to write or record anything?
No. You answer the questions and we write the book. Nobody else has to do a thing, so it works even as a surprise.
Can I change things before it prints?
Yes. You read the whole finished book first and can ask for changes twice. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
How long does the hardcover take?
Standard shipping takes about 3 weeks in the US, and Rush takes 2 to 3. The digital copy is yours the moment you approve the book, so you always have something to give on the day.
Are the illustrations made with AI?
Yes. AI helps us paint them in a classic picture-book style from your photo. The story comes from your real memories, and a person on our team reads every book before you see it.
Before it's forgotten.
Their story, kept in a book the whole family can hold.
