Since the first Hear Your Story® editions were published in 2018, readers have praised these books for breaking down barriers, capturing cherished memories, and revealing how, in Mason's words, "we're all much more similar than we are different."
Now, after selling more than two million copies across twenty-five different journals and garnering over sixteen million views on TikTok, Hear Your Story® has entered a new chapter—one that embraces innovation, expands accessibility, and deepens its impact. Mason has partnered with entrepreneurial publisher Sourcebooks to take the series to new heights, building a legacy of connection that will span generations.
The heart of Hear Your Story® has always been about fostering meaningful conversations. These journals guide families through thoughtful, curated prompts that spark reflection and storytelling, creating opportunities to listen, share, and understand one another on a deeper level.
The joint venture with Sourcebooks will help continue and grow this mission. The first step is a revitalized collection of the series' four core titles, focused on fathers, mothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers. The newly revised editions, available in March and April 2025 (paperback) and November 2025 (hardcover), feature:
• Elegant designs with high-quality paper and lay-flat bindings
• Over 40 pages of new content with more than 300 curated prompts
• A convenient 6 X 9 trim size for easy carrying and use
In addition, special deluxe hardcover "heirloom collection" editions bound in leather for dad and grandpa, and linen for mom and grandma, will be out Spring 2026.
Mason also wrote a line of family recipe journals whereby moms, dads, aunts, grandmothers, and grandfathers can keep family recipes along with special memories and family traditions. The original editions are available now, while the revised retail editions will publish in Spring 2026.
