I Chose More is a memoir about becoming - about leaving the life you were handed and choosing the life you wanted instead.
Born in Witbank, South Africa and raised on sacrifice, responsibility, and silence, Ch r-Lize Pearson grew up fast. By sixteen, she understood love. By seventeen, heartbreak. By eighteen, she crossed an ocean. And by twenty, she began again in America - building a life from nothing but ambition, survival, and belief in something bigger.
From family and immigration to blended love and adulthood, I Chose More follows the story of a girl who refused to settle and a woman who learned to want more: more opportunity, more purpose, more love, more future, more life.
This memoir is for the girls who grew up too early, for the daughters who left home to become themselves, and for the women who still want more than what the world told them to ask for.
Ch r-Lize Pearson didn't choose an easy life - she chose a bigger one. And this is the story of what happened next.
