An ode to the realities of aging, this is an honest but tender look at the challenges of caring for a relative with dementia, of how our role within the family unit evolves, and a celebration of spending precious time with those we love.

Written in warm and reflective prose, it explores the author's relationship with her mother and 94-year-old grandmother and their life in South Korea, with themes of resilience, patience, keeping memories alive, and the simple joys to be found in the everyday.
