About this listen

In a house stitched together by unspoken fears and half-remembered songs, four generations inherit more than heirlooms—they inherit silence, rituals, and the aching need to heal what was never named. Told through a tapestry of voices—an archivist beneath the floorboards, a memory bound to the attic, a quiet cousin in the hallway of forgotten photos, and a matriarch who speaks in spices and recipes—this part-fiction, part-memory journey explores how trauma lingers in the walls, how laughter can be preserved in jars, and how reclaiming your story can taste like cinnamon and sorrow.

Through surreal humor, aching tenderness, and kitchen alchemy, each narrator breaks the inherited cycle a little more, not by forgetting the past—but by listening harder, loving louder, and seasoning survival into something worth savoring.

In the end, healing doesn't come from erasing the old stories—it comes from finally writing the missing chapters
