Looking back and sharing special memories can be both rewarding and entertaining. This Guide is a beautiful workbook designed to help a person tell his or her life story. Page by page, it suggests topics--such as Family, Adult Life, Growing Older, and Reflections--and questions to consider. The questions can be helpful to the person sharing the memories, as well as provide other family members with a way to elicit stories and experiences. The suggested questions may also spark memories that go beyond the topics outlined in the book, which will only add to the richness of the completed story. The Guide also includes a section in which to record values that the person wishes to pass on to succeeding generations.
