In an age when digital noise drowns out the quiet Andrea Wills Bunce has emerged as an unlikely preservationist of family legacy. Her simple but profound mission: to have you tell your story.

Australian by heart and American by home, Andrea carries with her the bittersweet experience of living an ocean away from her loved ones. This distance has sharpened her appreciation for the fragile threads that bind families together. She has created a new luxury family keepsake: a beautifully crafted “tell your story” book series that invites families to write down personal stories and preserve them for generations to come. And, so became the Memoirs by Famili book series.

The idea began not with business ambition, but with longing for her own family’s stories, quirks, and histories to remain alive and immortal.

The result is a book collection that feels like a bridge between past and future: both luxurious and nostalgic in design, but emotionally essential and physical at its core.

“My goal is simply this, to help a million families be closer and know each other better by sharing their life stories and preserving them for generations to come.”

“In 200 years your descendants, that you’ll never meet, can read your book and feel like they know you, wouldn’t that be precious?”

The first in the series, A Father’s Memoir, is an elegant navy linen hardcover embossed in gold. Proudly printed in the USA. As you open the cover you’re greeted with a rich gold and navy art deco design on the inside cover. As you flip the pages you are quietly invited to begin sharing your story. First, your family name, then a chance to write a letter to your family and future generations. There is space for a photo of you. Then the questions begin. Gently at first, with practical facts about who you are and who came before you. Then snippets from childhood, progressing through life stages. Andrea insists you only answer the questions you feel comfortable answering. There are, after all, many, many questions.

Through the process of completing the book, the writer takes a reflective journey through their own life, reminiscing and revealing important moments they should certainly record.

Whether you’re capturing your own story or recording a loved one’s, these books ask the questions we all wish we’d asked sooner. They create a graceful, welcoming space to share childhood memories, triumphs, heartbreaks, wisdom, and the small, human moments that shape a life. For parents, it becomes an heirloom; for children and grandchildren, an open door to understanding their origins.

In a world racing forward, Memoirs by Famili books remind us to slow down—and write down—the stories that define us.
