One price, paid once. No subscription, no deadline, nothing renews or expires.

- **The Book, printed**: $208 once. Everything in The Book, plus a sewn, cloth-bound hardcover in a rigid gift box with photographs and letters in the pages. Extra copies from $69.
- **The Whole Family**: $449 once. Five editions of one life (memoir, historical novel, young adult edition, children's picture book, gift edition), five hardcovers, and a second storyteller.
- **Phone-call visits** (premium add-on): +$99 once. A real call at a set time on any phone, including a landline. The app is the standard way to talk; text messages only remind.
