THE CHAIR REMEMBERS
Book 2 of the Chair TrilogyBy Dr. Robert LiPuma
Length3h 25m
About this audiobook
Some chairs are built to be sat in. This one was built to hold what can’t be carried alone.
In a small Iowa barbershop, a single chair becomes a sanctuary for the broken, the grieving, and the quietly desperate. It holds soldiers returning from war, parents carrying impossible loss, and strangers who don’t yet have words for what they’ve lost—but know they can’t keep holding it alone.
The Chair Remembers is the second book in The Chair Trilogy, a literary novel about love that endures, grief that teaches, and the moral weight of choosing when to help—and when not to.
As decades pass, a father and the man he mentored confront the limits of compassion, the danger of power, and a question with no clean answer:
If you can save someone… should you?
This is not a story about miracles.
It is a story about presence.
About keeping promises.
About the quiet, sacred work of holding space for another.
