What do you give someone who has given you so much?
Give your parents the opportunity to tell their life stories with a life legacy book, and provide your family with personal history that grows more meaningful over time.
Creating your parents’ life story couldn’t be easier. I'll interview your loved ones, bring out the memories and experiences that make their story unique, and transform these into a beautifully written book about them, in their voice, reflecting their personality—with their name and face on the cover.
Senior Legacy Books, led by author and journalist Drew Tapley, is the leading provider of celebrity-style life legacy books and articles for seniors.
Your parent's story is your family's legacy
Imagine your children reading a firsthand account of what life was like when their grandparents were young. They can discover the challenges they overcame, the dreams they chased, and the moments that defined their lives.
One day, your grandchildren can discover these same stories about your parents, connecting them to people and experiences they might never have known.
By preserving your parents' memories and experiences in a professionally written life legacy book, you give them a chance to review the only life they’ll ever have, while offering your family something tangible to revisit and pass down. Their life story comes alive for them and stays alive in everyone who reads about it.
A wonderful way to preserve your parents’ life stories for your children and grandchildren
Every parent has a story worth preserving
Our parents have lived entire lives we know surprisingly little about. We know them as parents, but not necessarily as children, young adults, or individuals with their own ambitions, disappointments and adventures.
For adult children in midlife, the window to ask our parents everything we want to know about them closes faster than we imagine. Once we become parents ourselves, we appreciate them more and want to know them fully.
Shared life stories strengthen family relationships, foster empathy and connection, and deepen love.
Not ready to commit to a book?
Our celebrity-style life-legacy magazine articles are a faster, more affordable option.
All they have to do is talk
Your parent doesn't need to write a manuscript or work out how to tell their story. I'll guide them through a series of relaxed personal interviews, helping memories surface naturally through enjoyable conversations.
I'll then transform those conversations into a professionally written life legacy book, complete with editing and revisions, typesetting, chapter structure, photo enhancement and placement, and a celebrity-style cover with their face and name.
Why trust me with your parents’ life stories?
I'm Drew Tapley, an author, journalist, and experienced interviewer. I've interviewed hundreds of seniors about their lives, uncovering the memories and personal stories that make each individual unique.
I’m an expert at interviewing older adults, knowing how to ask the right questions, listen patiently, and carefully draw out the finer details of their lives.
I'll bring that expertise to your parents’ stories, turning their precious memories into an engaging, professionally written life legacy book that reflects their personality, voice, and distinct life journey.

The benefits of looking back on life
Seniors who take part in a life review find the experience very rewarding. It presents a time to reflect on achievements, acknowledge challenging experiences, reconnect with important memories, and appreciate the whole journey.
Having interviewed hundreds of seniors, I've personally witnessed the joy, satisfaction and peace of mind that can come from putting the pieces of a life together in this way.
Celebrate the life of a parent who has passed
Even when a parent is no longer here to tell their story, you can still celebrate and preserve their life. Through conversations with family members, friends and loved ones, a tribute life legacy book can bring together the memories, experiences and stories that capture who they were.
It's an opportunity to celebrate their life, preserve their memory, and create something meaningful for future generations.
