"I gave it to my mother on her seventieth. She filled three pages that night, then took two months over the rest. I have something now that I didn't know I needed."

"My dad has never been one to talk about himself. The prompts gave him an excuse. We've started reading them together on Sunday calls."

"I ordered one for each grandparent before our daughter was born. By the time she can read them, two of them won't be here. I don't have a better thing I've ever bought."

"The book itself is well made — the paper takes a fountain pen without bleeding through, the spine actually opens flat. It's a real book, not a promotional one."

"Bought it for my oldest friend on her fortieth, half as a joke. She read three pages and started crying. The friend edition is underrated."

"I'm the one writing in mine. My grandchildren asked for it. I'm taking my time. It is harder and better than I expected."
