About the book
What if the experiences that shaped you did not have to define you? Chosen is Lisa’s unflinching and hope-filled story of adoption, addiction and lasting recovery, faith, reinvention, love, and profound loss. It is a reminder that healing is rarely one dramatic breakthrough. It happens one day, one honest choice, and one courageous step at a time.
Lisa spent much of her life carrying labels: adopted, wife, mother, alcoholic, student, widow. In Chosen, she traces her journey from the lifelong questions of adoption to addiction, seventeen years of sobriety, a devastating relapse, and her recommitment to recovery. Candid, faith-grounded, and filled with hard-won hope, it is an invitation to release the labels that keep us small and take the next courageous step toward the person we are still becoming.
