Betsy C. Baker loves to write. After her husband, David, died, the time was right to create a memoir. Holding Fast combines Betsy’s memories of childhood, her high-profile careers, marriage, family illness, death and loss with her imaginative creative fiction. Through its straight-talking, compelling stories told as truth and fiction, we are reminded to “hold fast” to our family history and memories. It was our distinct pleasure to create this book with her!

I remember her in a wheelchair, fully dressed every day, in that big apron with the pockets on the underside where she kept her snacks and her .32 pistol. When I was three or four years old, she was my babysitter while my mother was at work. She was also my protector when I misbehaved.

“Legacy” is following me. I see it everywhere – in emails, conversations, podcasts, articles. And legacy is not being at all sneaky, but making itself known at every turn.

“Help me tell my story in a book that’s loved, not just sitting on a shelf collecting dust.” Sure thing! A loved book always has your reader top-of-mind. A loved book is intentional in all aspects – what you say, how you say it, how it looks, how it feels.

A photo story is more than just photos in an album, digital or otherwise. It’s more than just a photo book, though a photo book can be used to tell a photo story.

Seeing the books others had done lit a spark in me… It all began when Renee, a member of a book club I belong to, asked Jiffy to attend to talk about telling your story in memoir and photo books.

Ideas come from unexpected places. Mine came in a room full of grandparents, being told that our memories matter, that they’re unique, that they’ll be lost if we don’t write them down.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to celebrate family coming together and spending quality time together.

Pictures fade and memories pass with the loss of each generation. This past fall, I decided it was time to put together a book that represented a family legacy: the Lankford Manor in Tifton, Georgia.

Why should you put preserving and sharing old pictures and family stories at the top of your “to do” list?
