How do you remember your grandparents?

Your family's stories can go on for generations, backwards and forwards. But it's up to you to preserve the stories that matter most to you, to mine your memories, and to care for the spun threads of your life story and legacy.

The Dictionary of Grandparents: An Alphabetical Guide to Mining Your Memories will immerse you in detail-rich short stories, poems, and prose using the five senses. Weaving her love of language with her love of storytelling, author Michelle Seitzer bases each chapter on a word that describes her grandparents and ends with an invitation prompt for personal reflection.

The Dictionary of Grandparents will encourage you to:

• delight in reminiscing about loved ones,


• inspire you to record family lore,


• motivate you to ask more questions, and


• archive your own family memories.

Even if you're not a writer, you can curate a collection of memories that should never be forgotten, of the moments you'd like to replay and access even if your memory should fail you. And you can start right now.
