Chosen: Unlearning - Before I Choose Myself - Part I

CHOSEN - Book Two: UNLEARNING - Before I Chose Myself is a powerful continuation of Sherry Lynn Van Allen’s journey through love, loss, survival, and self-discovery.

After years of trying to be everything everyone else needed her to be, Sherry begins confronting the patterns that shaped her life. Through relationships, heartbreak, family struggles, and moments of quiet reflection, she discovers that healing is not always about becoming someone new-it is about unlearning the beliefs that kept her from knowing herself.

With honesty and emotional depth, this memoir explores what happens when survival becomes a way of life and when being chosen by others feels easier than choosing yourself. Sherry’s story reveals the difficult process of recognizing old patterns, facing uncomfortable truths, and finding the courage to build a life based on authenticity rather than expectation.

CHOSEN - UNLEARNING is a heartfelt story for anyone who has ever lost themselves while loving others, carried the weight of past decisions, or searched for the strength to finally put themselves first.

A moving memoir about resilience, transformation, and the journey back to yourself.
