Our home was

Our Home Was is a haunting and beautiful tale of love, loss, memory, and the spaces that shape us. This story explores what happens when a place that once held our laughter, secrets, and dreams becomes a ghost of what it used to be.

Told through the eyes of a sibling duo revisiting their childhood home, the story unfolds in fragments — memories tucked into the corners of cracked walls and silence echoing where joy once lived. Each room unravels a piece of their past: their mother’s lullabies, their father’s fading footsteps, the scent of monsoon rain through broken windows, and the warmth of dinners that once brought them together.

But time has not been kind.

Now, “home” is peeling paint, dust-covered furniture, and the silence that screams louder than any goodbye. Yet, in that decay, there’s still something sacred. A final reckoning. A quiet understanding. A chance to say goodbye not just to a building, but to the versions of themselves that once lived there.

Our Home Was is more than a story of a house — it’s a story of belonging, family, grief, and the invisible strings that tie us to where we come from, even after we’ve left.

For readers who find beauty in melancholy, poetry in old places, and healing in remembrance, this book will speak to the soul.
