Chosen (eBook)

Childhood of Trust is a deeply personal memoir about identity, belonging, family, and the complicated emotions that come with being chosen.

Born into uncertainty and adopted into a loving Arizona family, Sherry Lynn Van Allen shares the story of a childhood shaped by devotion, expectations, resilience, and the search for self-understanding. From the joy of being welcomed into a family that fought to make her their own to the challenges of carrying the weight of being someone's "miracle," Sherry reflects on the moments that formed her character and shaped her view of love.

Through memories of family bonds, childhood friendships, music, faith, hardship, and personal discovery, Chosen explores how the love we receive-and the expectations attached to it-can influence who we become.

Honest, emotional, and reflective, this first volume invites readers into a life journey about trust, acceptance, and the lifelong meaning of home.
