Long Description

Everyone has a story. The Write-Your-Life-Story Workbook will help readers write their own stories about themselves and their family with memory-prompting and thought-provoking questions. Special sections on interviewing loved ones will make the writing process a collaborative effort among the entire family. Readers will explore memories from their entire life with sections on parents, siblings, childhood, high school, career, and prime adulthood. And just as there are two sides to every story, the forms will include space for two or more people to share their unique perspectives on an event or family story. Major life moments such as buying a first car, receiving a first job, and first meeting a future spouse will be covered. The book will be a great gift for children to give to parents so they can learn more about their parents' lives.
