We all rush from one daily activity to another without ever stopping to realize we are actually living our own history. The attic discovery of a shoebox stuffed with old letters reveals a rich, sometimes humorous, and occasionally shocking glimpse into one family's heritage. Every family is living their own unique story. But the wisdom, mistakes, and traditions of our past will be lost forever if our experiences are not saved and passed to the next generation. Understanding our current realities while building a foundation for the future can only be done through documenting the historic ties connecting our journey. The Shoebox Chronicles offers an insightful guidepost for everyone to chronicle and preserve their own treasured legacy.
