Project keepsake

Amber Lanier Nagle put together Project Keepsake to gather and publish true stories about ordinary objects that have come to hold great personal value. Writers, some well established and some just starting out, tell their stories in the first person. Each piece stands on its own, but taken together they show the shared experiences that link people to one another.

The collection is a cross-section of voices and perspectives, so readers encounter a wide range of memories tied to everyday belongings. Its focus stays on how small, familiar things can carry meaning across a lifetime.
