What My Clients Are Saying

“Thank you for the opportunity to share my unremarkable life with you! You helped me realize that all of our life stories are so unique and worth telling. I’m hoping, with your help, that my children and grandchildren will treasure these memories about their mom and grandma long after I’m gone. You have the gift of listening and a gentle way that puts people at ease.”

— Joan Gerard, Walnut Creek, CA

“It gave me the chills when I saw the book! I’ve heard a lot of my mom’s stories, but when I saw them all together, and how beautiful the book was, I didn’t expect it to be so special.”
— Amy, Joan’s daughter


“I have no words to describe how I felt when I came home and opened the package with my book. It’s absolutely wonderful! I don’t know what to say except thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t tell you how much this means to me.” ‍

— Birgitta Ericcson, Medford, OR

“Nora made the difficult so easy. I had finished writing my memoirs in 2020. The problem was there were so many barriers to getting it published. My luck changed when I discovered Backstory. A few emails later, Nora and I  agreed on terms that led promptly to the production and delivery of my memoir in beautiful hard-cover books. I will never forget the excitement!”


“This has been really life-changing for me. With Nora, the first thing that happened was trust. The second was empathy. It really achieved what I wanted.”

— Janet Olson, Berkeley, CA

“There are just too many stories to tell! The most important thing was the questions you asked. These helped me figure out exactly what memories and stories were the meaningful topics that we should focus on.”

— Gary Green, Walnut Creek, CA

— Ellen Stillpass, Cincinnati, Ohio
