A printable book and a quiet AI companion that help your parents and grandparents tell you what they've never quite said. Built for the year you decide not to wait anymore.
Most of us think we have more time than we do.
The questions don't get asked. The stories don't get told. The voice we'd give anything to hear later is on a single voicemail saying we'll call you back.
Lineage Letters is the small, deliberate act of asking — while there's still time to listen.
Two products, one job. Use whichever fits the person you're asking.
A beautifully designed 100-question printable. Print it, gift it, fill it in by hand. Five files including PDF, EPUB, and an editable Canva template.
Don't want to type? Tap a link, hit record, talk. We turn it into a chapter you can edit. No app to download, no password to remember.
PDF, EPUB, Canva, and hardcover-ready DOCX. Print at Lulu, Blurb, Amazon — anywhere. The files are yours, forever.
A subscription on a memory is a strange thing to pay for. So we don't sell one.
I've spent thirty years inside healthcare, watching families have the conversation they'd been putting off — usually in the worst possible room, at the worst possible time.
Lineage Letters is the version of that conversation you can have on a Sunday afternoon, while the coffee's still warm. The questions are the ones the families I've sat with told me they wished they'd asked.
You don't have to do all 100. You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to start.

No. One-time price, no renewal. You pay $19 for the book or $49 for the app and you own it forever.
Use the companion app — they tap a magic link, hit record, and just talk. We transcribe it. No login, no password.
The prompts are designed to start in the senses — what something smelled like, what a room sounded like — because that's where memories often last longest. We include a free Memory-Loss Edition guide for caregivers.
