Tethered to the Past is the beginning of Irama’s two-part memoir, a raw and tender journey through the return of a great love and the heartbreak of watching it slip away. When Gemini, a man once close to her heart, reentered her life, their reconnection felt like a divine second chance. Together, they built new memories, rediscovered joy, and held onto each other through the storm of his battle with cancer.

This book is not simply about loss, it is about love in all its forms: the love that nourishes, the love that challenges, and the love that endures even when the person is gone. Through nights spent in hospital chairs, quiet conversations at sunrise, and the simple act of showing up, Irama shares what it means to tether yourself to someone with all that you are.

Poetic and unflinchingly honest, Tethered to the Past is a story of memory, devotion, and the sacred duty of care. It is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost profoundly, and longed to hold onto the pieces of a bond that shaped their soul.
