목차

Prologue
When life whispers, the heart begins to listen.

1 – A Strange Face in the Mirror
The day I no longer recognized my own reflection.

2 – A Bead of Sweat
When the body speaks before the words arrive.

3 – The Empty Bowl
A bowl of memories, filled with longing.

4 – Longing Sat at the Table
The warmth of shared meals that never truly left.

5 – The Silence of Home
After everyone leaves, the house begins to speak.

6 – A Day with No Messages
The quietest days write the loudest truths.

7 – The Wind Stirred My Heart
Old emotions carried by a passing breeze.

8 – My Name Disappeared
When your roles outgrow your own name.

9- This Morning
A quiet embrace, a whispered thank you.

10- Closing Reflections
What emotion still lingers quietly in your heart today?

What does your tomorrow look like when painted with peace?

Epilogue
I learned how to hold myself — only much later in life.

책 속으로

One Day Suddenly is a gentle and reflective collection of emotional essays that capture the quiet, unspoken shifts in a woman’s inner world as she enters midlife.

Through poetic language and deeply personal storytelling Sanghee Baek invites readers to pause and listen to the small whispers that rise from everyday moments a wrinkle in the mirror, a cold bead of sweat an empty bowl a day without messages a quiet house.

These stories are not dramatic. Nothing big happens. And yet everything changes.
Because this is a book about the invisible turning points when we start to recognize the quiet signals from our body, the ache of unspoken emotions and the silent spaces left by people we once loved.

With the same heartfelt voice that touched readers in The Space of Memory and The Star Named Saem, now offers this book as a soft place to rest. A mirror for those who are beginning to live more gently.

It’s a book for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and thought:
“I’m here… but where did I go?”
