A gift for your mom or dad — or anyone you love

Give them their life, as a book.


A designed book of their whole story — how they met, what they left behind, the kitchen they grew up in. They tell it to Jamie, a warm interviewer, ten unhurried minutes at a time. You give it today. The family keeps it forever.

Jamie · your story guide

I’ll ask the questions — they type as much or as little as they like. I keep track, so nothing gets repeated.

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

Tell Jamie three memories of your mom or dad — or anyone you love — and she’ll write the first page of their story back to you — before you decide anything. Free · about five minutes.

What it becomes

A finished 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.

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

    Give it today

    Buy the book and you'll have a private gift link in about a minute — send it yourself, or have us email it on the day you choose. (Want to feel it first? The five-minute page above is free.)

  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?

One finished book of their life — 40–80 pages, real chapters, in their own words. Choose how they hold it: a digital edition (PDF, $59), a printed softcover ($99), or a printed hardcover heirloom ($119). The softcover and hardcover are printed and shipped to their door.

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?

It takes a couple of weeks to a month or two, depending on how often they come back and talk to Jamie — no deadline, no falling behind. When the story feels full, the editors take over and the finished book arrives by email about a week later. If they chose a printed edition, they read that digital copy first; once they tell us they're happy with it, the printed book arrives about two to three weeks later.

Is shipping included?

Yes — the softcover and hardcover prices include printing and shipping in the US. The number they see is the number they pay, nothing added at checkout.

Can we get copies for the whole family?

Yes. Once the book is printed, they can order extra copies at our cost — not retail — so every child and grandchild can hold their own. No need to decide that now.

What if they're not happy with it?

Read the finished book first. If it isn't the most meaningful thing we've ever made them, we refund every cent — and they keep the book. The only way to lose is to never start.

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.
