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.’
