Mommy #2: A Memoir of an Eldest Daughter
By Jamie Capaldi

Being the oldest daughter means growing up fast-especially in South Philly, especially in the '80s, and especially when you're expected to be more mom than kid.

In this deeply personal memoir, Jamie Capaldi shares the honest, sharp, and sometimes darkly funny story of what it means to be the family helper, the fixer, the one who holds it all together-even while falling apart inside. From chasing a dream of becoming a dancer to carrying emotional loads way too early, Mommy #2 is about survival, guilt, rebellion, and finally, release.

It's for anyone who's ever felt like the adult in the room way too soon-and who's still figuring out how to be themselves when no one's watching.
