When memory fades, what remains? Ha-eun has always known her father as a quiet man of dignity-a shoemaker whose hands could mend anything except his own heart. But when Alzheimer's begins to steal him piece by piece, Ha-eun is thrust into a life she never planned: full-time caregiver, emotional anchor, and the last keeper of her father's memories. As his world unravels, Ha-eun fights against exhaustion, financial ruin, social stigma, and a powerful family determined to erase what they consider inconvenient. Each day brings new losses-forgotten names, vanished places, frightening outbursts-yet also unexpected gifts: a hand-stitched pouch, a pair of imperfect shoes, a fading map, and a journal filled with love written against forgetting. Caught between devotion to her father and the possibility of a future with the man who loves her, Ha-eun must learn a painful truth: love is not only about holding on, but about learning when-and how-to let others carry the weight. When Memory Fades, love Remains is a deeply emotional, realistic, and educational novel about dementia, caregiving, and the quiet heroism of those who remember when memory cannot. It is a story of sacrifice, resilience, and a love that endures beyond forgetting-stitched into everyday objects, whispered promises, and lanterns rising into the night sky. Because memory may fade, but love never does.
