Questions Unasked preserves your parents’ unique lifetime stories in a keepsake book
Whether you want help to create it yourself, or would prefer someone else take care of the details entirely, let’s capture your parents’ stories in an heirloom that can be passed down through your family for generations.
Our mission: Getting your loved ones’ stories on the record before it’s too late.
The first step is asking the right questions.
No matter whether your questions are more light-hearted (eg. Why does Grandma have SO MANY GNOMES??) or a little more serious (eg. Grandpa, what was it like starting your business?), we've got you covered.
Your journey towards transforming your loved one’s stories into a permanent, keepsake book that you can pass down through your family starts here.
Create your heirloom book
First, you pick the person whose life you want to know more about. (So maybe not that uncle who spent two hours talking about how he got his lawn a quarter of degree shorter).
We’ll determine which stories you’re most interested in, and which questions you’d most regret leaving unasked. Based on your answers, we’ll create a custom interview with your loved one to create your heirloom book.
“I’m so glad we were able to save some of my mother-in-law’s stories for my daughter. Even though they never met, my daughter will still have her grandma’s words to learn from as she gets older.”

Who am I?
Hi, I’m Victoria Veldhoen. I’m that person who forgoes the dance floor at your best friend’s wedding (trust me, I only know the moves to YMCA) in order to chat up your 81-year-old grandfather about how he got kicked out of the country that one time.
I have an MFA in Creative Nonfiction, and I’ve been writing my entire life. Nothing brings me more joy than discovering why someone is the way they are, and sharing that knowledge with others in an entertaining, compassionate, and obsessively-detailed book.
