The Assignment
An 86-year-old woman wanted to document her life story and share lessons learned for generations to come. Her son asked me to ghostwrite it.
The Project
Through bi-weekly interviews spanning almost eight months, I helped her chronicle her journey — from her family tree, childhood, adulthood, marriage, motherhood and retirement. Together, we shaped her memories into a cohesive narrative, organizing chapters, transcribing conversations, and ensuring her voice remained authentic. Beyond storytelling, I encouraged her to follow a theme that would weave together the chapters and serve as wisdom for future generations.
