“After my father passed away suddenly, one of my deepest regrets was not learning everything there was to know about his life, his upbringing, and his family roots before he died. When I heard about these personal history books, I immediately purchased a Persy Deluxe ghostwritten memoir as a gift for my 82-year-old mother, so that her life story and family history could be properly documented and passed down to future generations. I never could have imagined how wonderful the process could be! My mom, who was very lonely after my dad’s passing, always looked forward to her weekly interviews with Jessica. It was very therapeutic for her to reflect on the entire span of her life, reliving early memories and important milestones. She said the meetings were like spending time with a friend. In fact, they were the highlight of her week! Jessica’s terrific questions and wonderful manner enabled her to uncover so many things that I honestly feel would have never been discovered had we not worked with such a professional personal historian, including several hilarious family secrets. The book she wrote about my mother’s life exceeded all of our expectations. It is beautifully written and captures her full life story and lots of interesting family history about her parents, grandparents, and ancestors. The design and layout of the book make it a work of art! We loved it so much that I purchased individual copies for my sisters, cousins, and children for Christmas, and it was everyone’s favorite gift! ”

“ “The personal history you wrote of my parents is an absolute masterpiece that tells me many things I never knew, fills in holes where memories were incomplete, and reminds me of wonderful elements of my parents’ lives. And perhaps most importantly, it is a treasure for us to share with our children, who never knew my father and barely remember my mother. You have given us a gift truly beyond measure.” ”

“I knew that creating a book of my personal history by Jessica Genova, a gifted journalist and researcher, would result in an outstanding memory of my life. However, I never expected the intense historical research Jessica would do to validate and enhance my life experiences and stories. I am very grateful for her creating a beautiful library book of my past. ”
