Before the world knew her, she was safe.
Before she knew pain, she knew love.
First Home
is not just a memoir.
It's a mirror - held up to every girl who ever felt too quiet to be noticed, too sensitive to be strong, or too emotional to be enough.
In this heartfelt, poetic journey,
Shweta Jaiswal
shares the unspoken parts of growing up - as a daughter, a dreamer, and a girl trying to find her place in a world that made her feel like she had to become someone else to be accepted. From being treated like "one of the boys,"
to becoming a girl who tried to act strong to feel safe...
From copying her mother's grace in front of the mirror,
to
growing through the quiet truth of being "the third daughter" in a traditional home
...
Her story unfolds in pieces - soft, broken, healing pieces - that come together to say:
You are not broken.
You are just becoming.
This book is for you if:
You've ever felt unseen or left out
You've stayed quiet just to keep peace
You've carried pain in silence and called it strength
You're still learning to choose yourself - unapologetically
reminds us that healing doesn't always look loud or dramatic.
Sometimes, it looks like writing a letter to your past self.
Sometimes, it looks like letting go.
Sometimes, it's just the act of coming home -
not to a place, but to who you really are.
