Michael McQueen

After the unexpected death of his father, Michael McQueen faced the daunting task of sorting through his father's papers and belongings. At the bottom of a desk drawer Michael found a well-worn notebook, a gift he'd given his father the previous year. He had hopedbut never really expectedthat his father would use the questions to write about his life. When Michael opened the book, he discovered pages filled with his father's handwriting. Stories, advice, memories that had never come upin family conversation filled page after pageit was truly the gift of a lifetime. From this experience, Memento was born. A beautiful gift across the generations, this incredible journal is meant for someone you love. The simple, thought-provoking questions will coax the life stories from loved ones and become a keepsake to be cherished for generations to come.
