When Home Was a Person is a tender, poetic exploration of love, loss, and the unshakable bonds that live beyond goodbye. In this deeply personal collection, the author invites readers into the quiet corners of her grief and the warm glow of her memories, tracing the shape of a home that was never made of walls, but of a person — her brother. Through soft, lyrical prose and aching honesty, she captures the way someone can become your safest place, your constant, your anchor… and how their absence can echo louder than their presence ever did. Each page unfolds like a whispered confession — fragments of moments, gentle recollections, and truths too raw to be spoken aloud. There are no ornate masks here; just a heart speaking in its truest voice, finding beauty in the ache and comfort in the knowing that some people never truly leave. Written for anyone who has ever lost someone they loved beyond words, When Home Was a Person offers solace in its understanding. It reminds us that grief is not only about what is gone, but about what remains — in our memories, in our breath, in the way we keep them alive within us. This is not just a book to be read, but to be felt. A quiet companion for the nights when the world feels too empty, and a gentle hand to hold when you need reminding that love outlives everything.
