Her story.
Her voice.
Forever.
Her whole life, in her own voice, in a book your family keeps.

A photo can open the book.
Start with her photos.
A kitchen photograph. A trip. The day everything changed. You send a memory; she tells you what the picture doesn’t show.
Send them the way you already send photos.
A photo can open a chapter. If there is no archive photograph, the chapter continues with the account (and the QR, if there is a recording). AI illustration is optional.
A LIFE IS MORE THAN A QUESTIONNAIRE
A script written for her life.
Your answers shape an outline of up to 10 chapters. She chooses where to begin.

Roots
Her roots. Childhood. Who she was becoming.

Middle
Love, work, children and the home they made.

End — and what carries on
Values, advice and the words that stay with you.
She answers in any order. We organize.
THE VOICE YOU KNOW
The page you can hear.
A QR code in the book opens the original passage. The way she tells it, the pause, the laugh: still in her voice.

This site is for your mother’s book. After that project is paid, the same family can start one for a father, for yourself, or for another loved one. Same care, with 10% off the second project’s base price.
How the second book works →Up to ten chapters.
Each chapter may have a family photograph, an approved AI illustration, or the account only. About 12 to 15 pages. Begin with one of these questions and follow your family calendar.
Up to 120 pages included. Beyond that, additional 15-page blocks require your approval. See page blocks.

“My father-in-law scanned the first page and went quiet.”

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your questions, answered.
How do I get started?
Start with the free preview. The full project organizes up to 10 chapters. Each chapter may have a family photograph, an approved illustration, or the account only (and the QR, if there is a recording).
When purchases become available, choose your book settings and review the offer. Preparation begins after payment is confirmed and you specifically authorize us to start. The base price includes up to 120 pages; any extra page blocks need your approval. You approve the cover and interior separately before printing.
AI illustration is optional and limited, and only goes into the PDF after approval.
Can my mother take part if she is not confident with technology?
A family member can organize the project and help her along the way. Her personal link opens in a browser, so she does not need an organizer account.
To record, her device needs an internet connection and microphone permission. You can sit with her and help at each step, respecting her pace and her choice to participate.
What do I receive with a printed book?
The package includes preparation of the edition, one printed copy of up to 120 pages, the final PDF and two years of QR audio access starting on the book's actual delivery date.
Extra pages, additional copies, the audio extension, shipping, taxes and import charges are separate costs, depending on the order. The customer pays applicable import costs, duties and fees, disclosed before purchase. The book comes in protective packaging, without a gift box.
What are the stages and deadlines before the book arrives?
The schedule allows 90 days to send materials, two free 30-day extensions, 21 days to review the text, 14 days to approve the cover and 14 days to approve the interior. All are calendar days. Delivery takes up to 60 days after both cover and interior are approved, the required authorizations are signed and any amount due is paid.
- Materials: the 90 days begin with confirmed payment and your authorization to start preparation. Each free 30-day extension is requested with one click.
- Text: after the materials stage, including any extensions used, the family has 21 days to review the content.
- Cover and interior: each final PDF has a separate, version-specific approval. Its 14-day period starts when that PDF is sent. You can still approve later; a delay does not authorize printing or deletion of the files.
- Delivery: the period of up to 60 days for the book to reach your address starts only when cover and interior are approved, required authorizations are signed and any payment due is complete. An internal step with no stated deadline cannot defer that starting point.
How is the US$29 digital edition different from the US$19 audio extension?
The US$29 digital edition is a standalone product: it includes the PDF, downloads of the original photos and recordings available in the project, and five years of QR audio. It does not include a printed copy.
The initial US$19 extension is an add-on for a printed book. It replaces the basic two years with five years, starting at the first valid final approval of both cover and interior, with payment confirmed. It is not seven years or a second PDF purchase. The same starting point applies to the digital edition's five years.
How many years of online audio access are included?
A printed book without the extension includes two years from actual delivery. The US$29 digital edition and a printed book with the initial US$19 extension include five years from the first valid final approval, with payment confirmed.
That approval requires the cover and interior to be approved separately. After expiry, there is a 30-day listening grace period and a 90-day file export window. Both start on the same expiry date.
Do I have to accept automatic renewal?
No. Automatic renewal is optional and unchecked by default. Activating it requires your specific authorization after you see the price, term, dates or start conditions, and how to cancel.
Buying the book, accepting general terms or saving a cart does not authorize recurring charges. You can also choose to renew manually.
When can I cancel and receive a refund?
Before authorized paid preparation begins, you can cancel and request a refund for the unstarted project. After it begins, the commercial policy does not offer change-of-mind cancellation, while preserving your legal rights.
In Brazil, these include the seven-day cooling-off right, counted from contracting or receipt as applicable. Personalizing the book or authorizing work to begin does not automatically waive that right. Defects, incorrect charges and failure to fulfill the offer have their own remedies.
