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.’

"The end result was much more than I expected. You melded and blended my rambling memories into a cohesive train of connected events that a reader can follow and produced something I am happy to leave to my family."

There are stories in here I never heard… You really worked magic getting him to recall these stories with such vivid recollection! Thank you again for bringing Dad’s legacy to pages, which we are sure to cherish for generations to come. I know he enjoyed your days together."
