On the outside you smiled, succeeded, and kept everyone together — but inside, exhaustion, loneliness, and unspoken wounds grew heavier with time.This book is for you.Firstborn daughters are often praised for being strong, dependable, and selfless — yet behind the smile and achievements lies another story: self-abandonment, burnout, loneliness, people-pleasing, and the quiet grief of never truly being allowed to just be a child.In Healing the Firstborn Daughter, Nyatichi Christine weaves her own story with cultural insight and practical tools to create a guide that feels both personal and universal.
