A life is not a date. It is a list of places.
Nobody remembers a whole life in one afternoon. Amanda knows what to ask, leaves room for the things that come back a week later, and writes it all into a life story that still sounds like them.

Six places. Seventy years. Most of it never written down.
Ask somebody where they have lived and you get a list. Ask them what happened there and you get the story. That second question is the whole job, and it is the one families run out of time to ask.

An example, not a real client. The places and years above are invented to show the idea, and would be replaced on a live page by either a family's own permission-given story or a clearly-labelled illustration. Nothing here says Amanda travels to any of them.
