Why write your life story?
When I was in my twenties, my mother handed me a copy of our family tree that dated back to 1648 when my ancestors came from France to settle in an area known as “Acadie,” now Nova Scotia. “That’s nice,” I replied and put the papers away in a drawer.
In a move some twenty years later, I came across the yellowed sheets held together by a rusty staple. Looking at the names and tracing the path down to my own name, I now longed to know more about the people whose births, marriages and deaths were listed before me. Unfortunately, by that time, all those who held pieces of our family story were long gone. I missed my opportunity. My ancestors’ stories died with them.
Since then I’ve devoted much time and effort to helping others avoid the mistake I made, assisting them in preserving their stories for themselves and their families.

What They're Saying
Patricia is wonderful! She makes us dig deep for memories long forgotten. Her workshops are wonderful experiences and so much cheaper than therapy!
Starting class with Patricia after my husband’s death opened a world I had longed to participate in and helped me heal.
Patricia Charpentier’s See it Through, Finish My Book in 90 days program ignited a spark in me that is now ready to take flame. Before this 90-day program, I hid behind my fears about putting life memories into writing. With Patricia’s guidance and weekly instruction modules, my confidence grew, and I took each step forward with faith and trust that my book was coming together piece by piece.
Patricia, you changed my life for the better. Yesterday, I received a phone call from a lady who had read my first book and wanted to order two more hardback copies of both my books. She had enjoyed my stories and wanted more books for gifts. Made me feel real good. Writing has been a blessing for me, and I give you full credit. YOU ARE SERVING MANKIND in a wonderful way.
