The Weight of the Oldest

“The Weight of the Oldest” is a deeply personal narrative, interwoven with insightful observations on the complexities of family, ambition, and the immigrant experience. It’s a story about the inherent responsibilities and pressures placed upon eldest children, particularly those from immigrant families, who often carry the weight of their parents’ hopes and dreams. This book isn’t just my story; it’s a reflection of countless others who have navigated similar paths, grappling with the delicate balance between personal aspirations and familial obligations.
