Meet your guide

Hello, I'm June

The photo that started it all is on my desk as I write this: a girl of about six in a white dress, squinting into the sun on somebody's front porch. For eleven years she sat in a shoebox on my closet shelf, and I had no idea who she was.

One Sunday I took her to my Aunt Rose. Rose held the photo up to the window, laughed and said, "That's your grandmother, the summer before the fire." Then she talked for two hours: a farm that burned down, a great-uncle nobody ever mentioned, a wedding that nearly didn't happen.

I hadn't pressed record. I scribbled what I could on the back of a grocery receipt, and I still keep it in that shoebox. That receipt is the reason this workbook exists, and the reason Part Six tells you to press record before you ask the first question.

With love, June

Questions

Questions people ask me

I'm not good with computers. Can I really do this?

Yes. The workbook was written for people who don't feel confident with tech. Most of it needs only a pencil. When we do use technology, such as recording a story or scanning a photo, every step is spelled out, and you'll use the phone you already have.

How do I get the workbook after I pay?

Right after checkout you'll see a thank-you page with a download button, and you'll get an email with the same link. The workbook is a PDF file. Click the link, and it opens on your computer, tablet or phone, ready to print.

Is this a physical book? Will anything arrive by mail?

No, it's a digital download, so nothing is shipped. You get it instantly and can print as many copies as you like for your own family.

Is the text large enough to read easily?

Yes. It's designed in a large, clear font with plenty of space. You can also read it on a tablet and zoom in.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If the workbook isn't right for you, email us within 30 days of buying and we'll refund your payment in full. You don't need to explain why, and you don't need to send anything back.

What's the difference between the two options?

The workbook on its own is one payment of $34, with no subscription. The workbook + club option is $40 today, which includes the workbook and your first club pack, then $12 a month for a new pack. Cancel the club anytime with one email, and keep everything you've downloaded.

Still have a question? Email us and June's team will reply within one business day.
