A book about my mum
A book about your mum: her life story, in her own book.
The house she grew up in, the job she held on to, the way she kept the family together and the sayings everyone still repeats. Share your memories and we write her life story as a real hardback book.

The short answer
A book about your mum tells her childhood, her family and what she passed on, for Christmas, Mothering Sunday, her birthday or in her memory. It is a book of 100 to 250 pages about the life of someone you love, living or passed, written with AI assistance from what you and your family share, with nothing invented. £55 to £95, hardback plus PDF and EPUB, UK delivery included.
You share memories in a guided conversation, with no account needed to start, and read a free first page before you pay. The digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete conversation; printed books usually ship within 7 working days of your approval.
No account, no commitment
Tell us about your mum
Your Story Director is an AI assistant that asks about her childhood, her work, the people she loved and the phrases the whole family can quote. Go at your own pace and come back whenever you like.
Tell your story; it becomes your book. Your first 5 messages are free — no account, no credit card. You only create your space if you want to keep going, and nothing you shared is lost.
Your Story Director
Hi, and welcome. I'm your Story Director, an AI assistant. Together we'll gather the memories that will shape a literary portrait of the person you want to honor. Take all the time you need. First, tell me: who are we going to talk about, and how are you connected to them?

Not a fill-in journal she has to write herself
Most books for mum are guided journals: two hundred questions and blank lines she is meant to fill in. Many end up in a drawer, half empty. This is the opposite: a literary biography of 100 to 250 pages, organised in chapters and written for her, from what you and your family already know.
It works as a Christmas present, for Mothering Sunday, a 60th, 70th or 80th birthday, a retirement, or as a memorial after she is gone. Brothers and sisters can add their memories, and you review every chapter before the book is printed.
The text is written with AI from your brief, not by a human ghostwriter. It never invents facts about your mother; where memories are missing, the story stays faithful to what you shared.
Occasions for a book about mum
Christmas
The present she opens last and talks about all afternoon. For Christmas 2026, see the dates in our Christmas gifts for mum guide.
Mothering Sunday
A gift that says what a card cannot: what she gave up, what she built and why it mattered to you.
A milestone birthday
Her 60th, 70th or 80th, with memories from children, grandchildren and old friends.

What to expect
Honest about AI
The writing is AI-assisted. Check names, dates, relationships and sensitive passages: a smooth sentence can still contain a mistake. In all nine packages, corrections to the existing text are unlimited before your final approval. This does not include a free reprint after approval.
Realistic timing
Estimated timing: the digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, whatever the package. Printed books are printed in the UK; printing and tracked delivery within the UK are estimated at 6 to 9 working days after your final approval. Dispatch is not arrival: also allow time to gather memories and to review and correct the text. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.
