Product Description

From the Author
Capture the life stories of your family to pass on.
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and have recently celebrated my 40th birthday with Kate, my wife of 11 years. We have a daughter and a son and look forward to many of our best years still ahead of us. We are watching our parents and grandparents grow older now with trepidation and awe. Trepidation in realizing that they will not be with us forever and awe in realizing the wisdom about life they carry with them. My Grandpa Carl taught me to reach for the stars and to believe in myself even if others lose their faith. He also worked me hard, but laying those bricks in his backyard helped strengthen my work ethic. And he showed me how to treat math as an adventure instead of a chore. I have always loved hearing Grandpa spin yarns around the dinner table. They helped me to know him more intimately. I wanted to find a way to ask him about all the different areas of his life and to save what he told me, even some of the little tidbits that he would never think to add himself. It now comforts me to know that long after Grandpa Carl is gone I will still have this little book of treasures to share with my children and grandchildren. This book has 201 questions, covering the early, middle and later years under the topics of family, friends, education, work/responsibilities, and the world. I hope this collection of life stories will help you to also begin sharing your stories with those who will carry on in your path. David P. Marshall - co-author

3.0 out of 5 stars Very USA-centric, 17 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This would be a great book if I came from the USA, but I don't, and many of the questions could only really be answered by an American, or by someone who lives there (for example, questions about Thanksgiving Day, US presidents, etc.).

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift!, 28 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I started out with just one copy, and now I give them as gifts. I have had a great time answering the questions and sharing the book with my son. What a great way to pass on family stories and traditions. I wish I had found this wonderful book in time for my grandmother, but now I'll be giving a copy to grandpa. If you find journal writing intimidating, this book is a great introduction. Buy one for yourself and then buy 5 or 6 to give as gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is monumental...it's a novel waiting to happen!, 15 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I gave this book to my grandmother with a note that said "I bought this book for you because I want the generations of our bloodline to come to know that you were a wonderful, generous woman, who knew how to live life to it's fullest." She loved both the book and the note so much she cried! She also went out and bought a few more to give to aother family members as gifts. She wrote in it and gave it to me, and I drank up every word she wrote. I learned about her trials and tribulations, I learned about family members I never had the pleasure of knowing...but got to know well throughout this book. It gave me an idea about where I came from, and I even noticed some similarities in personality and interests with my grandmother. This is a wonderful book for any occasion. Definitly 2 thumbs up!
