Your mother's stories deserve a book.

For one year, she receives one question each week. She writes her memories at her own pace, and at the end her answers are gathered into a keepsake book she can pass down to the whole family.

The Mother Stories book, titled 'The Best Years of My Life' by Denise Tremblay

There are stories only your mother can tell

How she met your father. The day she knew she wanted children. The childhood memory that shaped her most. The lesson she learned the day everything changed.

We always tell ourselves we'll get around to hearing these stories. But time slips by, and we never really ask. Not because we don't want to. Because we don't know where to start.

Mother Stories asks the questions for you. One per week, by email, for a year. Your mother answers at her own pace. And at the end, you have a book no one else in the world could have written.

You might be wondering...

"My mother doesn't like writing."

That's the most common situation. The questions are designed so memories come up naturally, as if you were talking around the kitchen table. After a few weeks, most people find their rhythm and start to enjoy it.

"She's very busy."

Just one question per week. She can answer in 10 minutes or take an hour, whatever she feels like. If she skips a week, the question stays available. Zero pressure.

"What if she doesn't like it?"

You have 30 days to ask for a full refund. If your mother doesn't take to it, you have nothing to lose.

"Is the result really worth it?"

The final book is a collection of 52 personal answers, professionally laid out in a keepsake format. It's a one-of-a-kind object, impossible to buy in a bookstore, that the whole family can read again for years.
