My Life & Times : A Guided Journal for Collecting Your Stories

Everyone has a story. "My Life & Times" will help readers write their own stories about themselves and their family with memory-prompting, thought-provoking questions. There are two sides to every story, so various sections are designed to be completed by different family members and friends, making the story telling a collaborative effort. Readers explore memories from their entire lives with sections on parents, siblings, childhood, high school, career and prime adulthood. Major life moments such as first car, first job, and first meeting a future spouse will be covered. The first chapter will contain lots of ideas for helping readers jog their memories and recover forgotten memories from long ago.
