Book Highlight: A Frank and Forthright Personal History

April 5, 2017 Alison Taylor
 A personal history doesn't have to been long or comprehensive. In this book, our client is refreshingly honest about some of his most meaningful experiences.

A personal history doesn't have to been long or comprehensive. In this book, our client is refreshingly honest about some of his most meaningful experiences.

A personal history doesn't have to be long, but it should contain what's most important. In this fascinating portrait, Kendall talks about trying to please a difficult father, navigating an airplane over the Pacific during wartime, building a business, and his successful struggle for sobriety. Oh, and the time he played for the Mormon Yankees while serving a church mission in Australia. Now that Kendall's book is completed, we are working on another book with his lovely wife, Marva.

Just finished this assisted autobiography with Eugene England of C.R. England Trucking. At 98, he's an inspiration!

Fun side project! We completed a history book for the Johnsons earlier this year, and Mr. Johnson asked me to design this poster as a surprise birthday present for his wife. I think it was a hit! The words are her character traits, collected from her family and friends. #wordcloud #customdesign
Great idea for telling a family history story: make it into a kid's book! Our client did the  illustrations for this sweet story, written by her and her sister. We helped with editing and layout.

My childhood kitchen. I've never before seen a photo of this room. It looks just like I remember it, only smaller. Brings up so many memories of my resourceful mom. I remember her covering the those canisters (and a coffee can) with iridescent blue contact paper.

How cool is this old family photo? All wearing their Sunday best and serious expressions, showing off the home they built with their own hands in central Sweden.

Another never-before-seen pic of my mom, acting in a production of "The Autumn Garden" in Minneapolis.

Here's our client Kendall Hatch, who at 17 was navigating airplanes over the Pacific while being shot at. Something to bring up next time your teenager balks at doing the dishes. You're welcome. #icandohardthings

Having been fans of Humans of New York nearly since its beginning, we were excited to have the opportunity to interview the celebrated photojournalist Brandon Stanton prior to his coming to Salt Lake City as the keynote speaker for the opening session of next week’s RootsTech family history conference.
