Which one is right for me?

something only you could add…

A place in the box for what matters

Every bundle has a keepsake slot. Post Amy a hospital bracelet, a medal, a pressed flower or a key, and she fits it into the box beside the book. Or leave it empty with a ribbon, so you can add something yourself when you give it.

Please don’t post anything you could never replace. Amy can make a careful copy of original photos or letters instead.

Questions people ask

What if I change my mind?

Before Amy starts, your deposit is refunded in full. After she has begun, the deposit covers her time, and you never pay the balance unless you approve the book.

What if I don't like the proof?

Tell Amy what feels wrong, page by page. Each package includes rounds of changes, and nothing is printed until you approve.

Can I send it straight to someone as a gift?

Yes. Add their address, a gift message, and we leave prices off the packing slip. They never receive emails from us.

Is my material private?

Yes. Your photos, recordings and notes are only seen by you and Amy, and used only in the way you allow.

Can someone help me fill it in?

Of course. A family member can help, or Amy can talk it through with you by phone.

Is it suitable for a hard story, like a loss or an illness?

Yes. Amy handles these gently, and you choose how much is said and how it ends.
