Book Highlight: She Did This One Herself

January 29, 2016 Alison Taylor
A lovely book that our client created about her mother-in-law, using our book "How to Save Your Life, One Chapter at a Time" as a guide. We love the clever title, "No Cross Words," portrayed in crossword-puzzle style!

A lovely book that our client created about her mother-in-law, using our book "How to Save Your Life, One Chapter at a Time" as a guide. We love the clever title, "No Cross Words," portrayed in crossword-puzzle style!

This week we want to highlight a very special book. Last year at RootsTech, Carol Davis purchased a copy of our book "How to Save Your Life, One Chapter at a Time." Carol and her family used our book as a guide to create this lovely book about her mother-in-law, in well under a year's time, start to finish. We hope it's an inspiration to all of you: proof that it can be done! 

Many people have told us that "How to Save Your Life" has been very helpful to them in creating a life story book, but isn't often that we get to actually see the finished end result. Kudos to Carol for creating a beautiful, professional-looking book that her family was thrilled to receive last Christmas. One family member said to her, "I wish I had a book like this about each of my grandparents!" So, on to the next project! This time Carol and her family will be doing a book about her father, and they have asked us to help. It's fun for us to see the great work people are doing in preserving their family stories. Thanks for sharing!
