Richard White has always enjoyed writing family history and stories. His four previous books include a family history, two books of travelogues, and letters to his ancestors. In My Life in Stories and Photos, his autobiography, Richard connects the stories of his youth and adulthood with over 130 photos from 1950 to 2023. He writes, "This book is a far cry from the detailed draft of my autobiography, which I wrote in the 2000's. It was hiding for years in a thick three-ring binder in the basement, and it only went as far as New Year's Eve 2000. I wondered, 'How should I tell my story?' I opted for a substantially pruned-down narrative complemented by photos capturing special moments in my life through the years. So many details have been left out. But I hope what I have included here will be an interesting and at times compelling story."
