Scenario

When family history projects feel like personal failure

I spent eight years writing a biography of my great-uncle who fought in World War II and the publisher just rejected it and I feel like I failed him twice now, once by not asking questions when he was alive and once by not telling his story well enough.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The responsibility to preserve family memory creates pressure that can transform love into burden.
