By Jamie Crow Before I Was Chosen is a raw and deeply personal memoir that tells the true story of a girl navigating the chaos of childhood before finding safety through adoption. Jamie Crow recounts her early years marked by abuse, neglect, and the instability of the foster care system. Through her eyes, we witness the heartbreak of being passed from home to home, the fierce bond she shares with her siblings, and the quiet resilience that carried her through the darkest moments. From hiding in silence to protect her siblings, to dreaming of a day she might be loved and chosen, Jamie's story is one of a survival and unshakable hope. She shares her truth with unflinching honesty-showing what it means to grow up in a world that often failed to protect her, and what it took to believe she was worthy of love. This is more than a story of trauma. It's a testament to strength, sibling love, and the power of being truly seen. For anyone who's ever felt invisible, unwanted, or unheard-this story will make you feel less alone.
