Description

The House That Never Felt Like Home is a raw and heartfelt collection of reflections on growing up in a place that was supposed to feel safe but never did. Through short, poetic pages, Shayan Goswami shares the inner world of a child who learned too early how to hide pain behind laughter, silence, and perfection. This book speaks to anyone who has carried childhood wounds into adulthood, who has felt unseen, unheard, or unloved in their own home. With tender honesty and vivid imagery, the author explores themes of trauma, trust, people-pleasing, loneliness, and the long journey of learning to rest in gentleness. Each page feels like a letter to the younger self — and to every reader who still carries that younger self inside them. Though it holds stories of heaviness and survival, the book also offers warmth, hope, and the reminder that healing is possible. It is both a companion for those who grew up afraid to take up space and a promise that they were always worthy of love. This is not just a book — it is a hand held out in the dark, saying you are not alone.
