It will be a treasure your family will love.

This year, StoryWorth made it even easier to give the gift of stories with their unlimited plan.

Buy it once and give StoryWorth memoirs to friends and family all year.

Plus, it comes with all their newest features and multiple full-color book copies.

I know how much I want to capture key memories in our family's life for our kids, and I'd love to have a collection of stories like these from family members we've lost along the way.

I know StoryWorth will make a great gift option as we head into this year's celebrations of Mother's Day, Father's Day, and beyond.

This year, give mom a gift that helps her reflect on her life with fresh perspective and gives your whole family the gift of her stories.

Readers, I'm sure many of you will well understand our team's excitement when we saw today's guest submission land in our inboxes.

Today, I'm talking with Kate Scarth, Chair of Ellen Montgomery Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island.

We're going to talk more about Kate's work today, but in addition to her academic role, Kate has partnered with the L.M.

Montgomery Institute, which she describes as a hub of the international Montgomery community and was part of the advisory committee for the Green Gables Interpretive Center.

I was so interested in hearing more about Montgomery's life and work, and also Kate's life and work, and about some of her favorite Montgomery retellings and homages.

But our main focus today is on Kate's reading life.

She's interested in building out a deep reading roster for the kinds of books she especially enjoys.

Books featuring literary women, books where an investigation or detective work is a big part of the story, books that center on a house, and nonfiction about creative and artistic women in history.

She's also very interested in finding more books with magical realism and ghosts, and had some interesting thoughts to share in this vein connecting Stephen King and Ellen Montgomery, if you can believe it.
