The Chimes of Memory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295494567)

"How do you love someone who's disappearing?"

Caleb Merritt, a widower in small-town Georgia, has spent a year hiding in his bookstore, speaking to his late wife through voice recordings and avoiding anything that might require him to truly live again. When Reverend Brooks recruits him to volunteer at Golden Years memory care facility, Caleb reluctantly agrees-and meets June Whitaker.

June visits her husband, Harlan, every single day, speaking to him like he's still the man she married fifty years ago, even when his Alzheimer's means he doesn't recognize her. She sees in Caleb a fellow traveler in grief-someone who understands what it means to love someone who's slipping away.

As they navigate the complicated territory between caregiving and letting go, they discover that healing doesn't mean forgetting. Sometimes the most beautiful music comes from wind chimes that have weathered the storm.

The Chimes of Memory is a tender Southern romance about second chances, the caregiving journey, and the quiet courage required to love again after loss.
