The Label Maker: A compassionate novel about memory loss, identity and enduring love

Encouraging words to anyone that is enduring memory loss or for someone caring for loved ones going through it

Janet believed memory was something you could manage.

You wrote things down.
You kept systems.
You promised yourself, I’ll remember.

But when remembering becomes unreliable, Janet does what she has always done best—she organizes. Drawers. Cabinets. Notes. Labels. Slowly, quietly, she builds a world designed to hold her steady when her mind begins to let go.

The Label Maker is a tender, deeply human story about memory, love, identity, and what remains when certainty fades. Told with warmth, subtle humor, and emotional honesty, this novel follows one woman’s journey as she learns that remembering facts is not the same as remembering who you are.

This is not a story about loss alone—it is a story about dignity, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to live fully even when the future feels uncertain.
