For years, I carried pieces of a story I didn’t always understand. 

A story of identity.

Of adoption.

Of addiction and recovery.

Of faith, grief, courage, and learning how to begin again.

There were chapters I wished I could rewrite. Chapters that challenged everything I thought I knew about myself and what my life could become.

But somewhere along the way, I discovered something I hope you will discover too:

We may not get to choose where our stories begin. 

But we can choose what comes next.

Chosen is the story I’ve been carrying, writing, and finally sharing.

A deeply personal memoir about becoming. About finding your way through the difficult chapters and discovering that you are still worthy of hope, healing, and a new beginning.

I cannot wait to place this story in your hands.

Launching October 2026
