01 / The book
A heart that remembers, feels, and keeps becoming.
The people we carry.
The selves we become.
Some words were never said. Some feelings never left. Letters from Somewhere is a collection of raw, honest reflections, written with a heart that remembers, feels, and keeps becoming.
Onyinyechi Ogbuju writes to a father she understands better now than she did then, to a mother whose love still holds on, to siblings and old loves, to the ones she lost and has not stopped speaking to, and to a husband and children she has yet to meet. It is a journey through love, loss, gratitude, growth, and everything in between. There is room here for your own unfinished feelings, too.

02 / Between the pages
A few words.
A place to begin.
Take a quiet moment. Read a little of what lives inside.
From Me to You
These are letters to everyone who has been a part of me, who is still a part of me, and who will be a part of me.
So, what has been done is being done, and will be done.
Hence, you have given me something to write about, something you have left or taken away from me, and I will write to you all.
From me to you
From memory. From the heart. From somewhere.
