Simply The Oldest: Some Truths Don’t Arrive by Davin Orel

A profound meditation on inheritance, silence, and the quiet roles we are asked to carry, Simply The Oldest explores what it means to be the one who begins, who shoulders, and who remembers. Davin Orel brings to life the subtle yet heavy weight of family expectations, unspoken sacrifices, and the invisible fights that shape identity.

From the quiet beginnings to the final journey home, this book reveals how responsibility and legacy intertwine, often in ways that remain hidden beneath silence. With lyrical precision, Orel uncovers the strength required to bear what is unseen, to navigate between words and stillness, and to reconcile the weight of expectations with the freedom of self-discovery.
