You've been meaning to ask them for years. Begin with what you already remember.


The afternoon you still talk about. The story they tell at every dinner. The way they are when they're most themselves. Answer a few unhurried questions from your own memories and we'll write the first page of their story — and you'll see exactly what only they can add.

From a finished book

What it becomes

A real book of their life. In their own words.

The five-minute page you can start above comes from your memories. The full 7Bonds book is theirs: their life gathered across short visits with Jamie — a warm interviewer who remembers everything — then handcrafted by our editors into a designed book: real chapters, real scenes, their own phrases kept where they sing.

  • 40–80 pagesdesigned and typeset, chapter by chapter
  • $49, onceno subscription — the whole family's to keep, print, and share
  • Their voicewritten as a story, not a stack of answers

How it works

Three steps. None of them feel like work.

Nothing for them to prepare, nothing to install, nothing that feels like a chore. Jamie meets them where they are.

  1. 1

    Feel it first, free

    Answer a few questions about your mom or dad and Jamie writes the first page of their story — you'll know immediately whether this is the gift.

  2. 2

    Give it — they talk, Jamie listens

    We send them a warm invitation from you (or you hand them the link yourself). Then it's their book: ten unhurried minutes at a time, and Jamie remembers every word.

  3. 3

    The editors take over

    Their story is shaped into a designed book — and what's inside stays theirs until the day they choose to share it.

Why 7Bonds

Every memoir service fails the same two ways.

I signed up, answered two prompts, and quietly stopped. It felt like homework.

Weekly writing prompts feel like assignments — most people stop by week four. Jamie doesn't send homework; she has a conversation, and adapts to their pace.

The end result is a stack of Q&A. There's no story.

Even when the book arrives, it's fifty-two answers bound between covers. A 7Bonds book is written — chapters, scenes, a life with its shape intact.

Why now

They're the only one who can tell it.

The stories they carry — how they met, what they left behind, the kitchen they grew up in — exist only as long as they do.You've heard the favorites a hundred times; your kids haven't heard them once. Ten minutes at a time is enough to write them down for good.

Questions

Asked, answered.

What exactly do I get for $49?

One finished book. Your person tells their life story to Jamie across short visits; our editors then handcraft it into a designed book of about 50–60 pages — real chapters, in their own words — delivered as a beautiful PDF you can keep, print, and share.

How does it work?

In short visits, right here — about ten unhurried minutes each, whenever suits them. Jamie remembers everything between visits, never asks twice, and picks up exactly where they left off. Close the page anytime; the book keeps.

How long does it take?

Most books gather over two to four weeks, a few visits a week at their own pace — there is no deadline and no falling behind. When the story feels full, the editors take over, and the finished book arrives by email about a week later.

What if something should stay private?

Say "keep that between us" at any moment and it stays out of the book — no questions asked. Before the writing begins, they are asked once more if anything should be left out. The book contains only what they choose to keep.

Can photographs be part of the book?

Yes — near the end, we invite them to send a few favorite photographs, and the editors place them alongside the moments they belong to.

Is it private?

Private by default. The book goes only to them, nothing is ever shared without their say, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.

I have another question.

Write to us — a person reads and answers every note.
