Book about Mom and our Socialist family

I have been told that the book that must be written is about my mom and my own "red blood" Socialist pedigree (grandparents on both sides and one great grandparent, as well).

I can tell some of the stories, even the political ones, but I am not a political writer per se. I know the movements and their derivation(s), but political theory is not my thing. Fiction, poetry, yes. But not political writing.

I want her to have a book, though. I just don't quite know how to format, delineate and direct it.
