Siren Sound.
by M K Baker

She grew up early—not because she was strong, but because someone had to be. I Was Old Before I Was Young is a quiet, aching portrait of the eldest daughter: the one who learned responsibility before joy, silence before anger, and strength before softness. This book names the invisible labor, the unasked sacrifices, and the love that came with conditions. For anyone who learned to carry before they were held, these pages don’t motivate—they recognize.
