Chosen: Unlearning - Before I Choose Myself - Part I

Chosen: Unlearning — Part One

Sherry Lynn grew up knowing she had been chosen.

But growing up chosen did not mean growing up prepared.

By the time most young women were just beginning to figure out adulthood, Sherry had already been married, divorced, remarried, uprooted, and forced to learn how quickly love could change once real life moved in.

In Chosen: Unlearning — Part One, Sherry leaves the Arizona childhood of Book One behind and steps fully into the consequences of the choices she made young.

There are marriages that begin with hope and end in disappointment. Moves between Queen Creek, Arizona and Checotah, Oklahoma. Jobs taken because bills still have to be paid no matter what is happening at home. Jealousy, passion, temptation, friendship, loneliness, and the complicated reality of becoming an adult before she really knew who she was.

And then comes motherhood.

With the birth of her son, Chad, Sherry's world becomes bigger than the relationships surrounding her. For the first time, some of her choices are no longer hers alone.

Still, she is young.
Still searching.
Still trying to understand the difference between being wanted, being needed, being desired—and being truly loved.

Unlearning — Part One is candid, messy, funny, romantic, painful, and sometimes reckless.

Sherry doesn't rewrite the young woman she was to make her wiser than she really was.

She lets her make the choices.

And lets the consequences come.

Because before Sherry could become the woman she would eventually be, she first had to begin unlearning everything she thought love was supposed to mean.
