My Family in Stories: A Guided Journal from the Moth

By The Moth

Stories are a cherished part of family life, but many are lost to time. With this guided journal, The Moth uses its storytelling expertise to help you uncover and preserve your family's memories.

The chance meeting on a stalled train that led to marriage. The time your brother was accidentally left at a truck stop. When your dad cried to get out of a traffic ticket (and it worked ).

Our lives are filled with stories we inherit--stories often lost to time. This beautiful guided journal from acclaimed storytelling organization The Moth will help you discover, reflect upon, and preserve the tales of your family, be it biological or chosen.

First, you'll write about family in relation to you. Imagine you're sitting across from a future descendant--what would you like them to know about you and those who came before? Then, you'll interview family members, using the journal's prompts to unearth old stories or shed light on ones you thought you knew. The Moth's team of storytelling experts guide you to breathe new life into these stories through more than 125 insightful prompts, such as:

Was there a family soundtrack? What family treasures have been passed down?Is there a rumor you've heard about someone in your family that left you wondering if it was true?
Complete with a removable family timeline and ribbon marker, this journal is an heirloom-quality volume that will stand the test of time, allowing you to pass down the stories that matter most to the next generation.
