Choosing to Remember: A fictional memoir book series

After running from their past and hiding in plain sight as anyone other than themselves, the men and women in these stories want to reclaim their identities through truth. They buried every old memory in cement, in order to be who they presumed everybody would love and accept. The trauma they eagerly got rid of, began before their births and started with the pain each of their parents were burdened with. Born into an already broken family, they were torn apart everyday and taught to run from their problems as they piled up.                                                                                                    In the hopes of finding better versions of who they once refused to be, while following a long road to forgiveness within. Almost a life later they are choosing to remind themselves of painful childhoods, turbulent teen years and explosive adult years that left them running again. These fictional stories paint a real picture of acceptance, loss, redemption, courage and deep reflection. There are currently two books in this series and a third novel will be finished in March of 2025. 

Begin the series with Joddelyn Anderson as she exposes her lust for fame, desperation to be seen and tells her cautionary tale about being in the spotlight. In the second novel Jerome Clarkson opens up about the unloving environment he grew up in and how it played a major part in him hiding his sexuality for over 20 years while married to his wife.
