Publisher's summary
What would happen if you chose yourself?
So often, women are taught to put others first. We are conditioned to focus on the needs of others rather than prioritizing ourselves and we become good at it. Choosing others becomes so central to our way of being that we can build big, busy lives without ever stopping to wonder: what if I chose me?
In her mid-forties, Jeanie Duncan was a card-carrying member of the put others first club. Wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend she was surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. From the outside, it was a perfect life. But over the course of a profound period of unraveling and self-realization, she discovered that she had lost herself somewhere along the way.
Choosing Me: The Journey Home to My True Self is the achingly personal and yet stunningly universal story of one woman's journey to discovering her truth and finding the courage to live it. At once a coming-out story that uplifts and inspires and a searing exploration of mother-daughter relationships, Choosing Me is a refreshing and powerful invitation to embrace love, live fully, and never compromise your truth. Additionally, enjoy an exclusive bonus interview with the author in the audiobook!

Story
In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

Story
A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Story
Charlotte Bellows wrote The Definition of Beautiful between the ages of 15 and 17, in the wake of lockdown and in recovery from anorexia. In the tradition of Sylvia Plath in The Bell Jar and Françoise Sagan in Bonjour Tristesse, Bellows writes with deceptively straightforward urgency, pushing through society's constraints on the bodies and minds of girls and women to offer a story both achingly familiar and devastatingly new.

So Close and Personal
Jeanie Duncan’s audio book is a must-listen for anyone who aspires to a more fulfilling life. She shares the anguish and courage of emerging from her comfort zone to explore and embrace her most authentic self. Her story, in her own voice, is so compelling. It’s a heart-thumping love story - of her own self and of her partnership with Lyn. Add to that the insights that apply to all of us and the questions at the end of each chapter that are a guide to stepping out of fear into your own the personal journey. She shows me that it's never too late to define and refine my path forward.

Powerful and inspiring!
Jeanie Duncan shares her personal journey to self-discovery in such a relatable way that you find yourself in her story. Her narration is soothing and comforting so that you feel as if you are talking with a good friend. I love the thought-provoking questions she poses to us after each chapter and I was incredibly inspired by her experience. Her vivid descriptions of people and situations put you ‘there’ and make her story even more powerful. I highly recommend this book!
