With a heart not of “restoring” or “rebuilding,” but of “mending,” we carry your story into its next chapter. To Be Continued in the Next Chapter is a novel that quietly contemplates life after profound loss. Through the process of book mending, it weaves together the stories of diverse individuals—sexual minorities, adoptive families, lifelong learners—while the repairer herself finds the strength to move forward to her own next chapter through the tales entrusted by her clients. This book was created in collaboration with Jaeyoung Book Repair, the only book-mending workshop in Seoul. It captures both the detailed process of the craft and the living philosophy of a real repairer. Its message—“Life is not restored but mended”—guides readers toward their own next chapter.
