Our Story
Raconteur
Raconteur was born out of the desire to preserve parents' and grandparents’ life stories. Co-founder Olivia Spallino Savoie documented her grandmothers’ memories. After seeing what the keepsake memoirs meant to her own family, she began writing life story books for families everywhere.
The saddest sentence I know is ‘I wish I had asked my mother about that.’
