Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Sarah Lopez was trained in the art of deception.Her father was a con artist, and she adored him with the blind devotion of a child who didn't know any better. By the age of eleven, she was a seasoned swindler-helping him exploit the foster care system, pitch pyramid schemes, sell See's candy outside grocery stores, and move nearly thirty times, often while living in a 34-foot Bounder motorhome. Along with six other children, they amassed more than a quarter of a million dollars in just eighteen months - tax-free.Reinvention became armor. College graduate. Pageant titleholder. Communications strategist. Trusted advisor. Every new achievement became another layer between her past and the life she fought to build. If she could control the story, she could control the outcome. For years, that was enough.Motherhood unraveled everything. After a miscarriage, traumatic childbirth, and postpartum depression, the coping strategies that carried Sarah through childhood began to fail her. The turning point came not in a dramatic act, but in a sentence she avoided her entire life: I need help.Raw, unforgettable, and ultimately hopeful, I Chose to Be Here is about the survival skills that saved us as children - and the courage it takes to outgrow them. It is an intimate exploration of what staying alive actually requires, long after the danger appears to have passed.For anyone who has ever wondered whether a different life was possible, this book is a testament to the quiet courage of asking for help, telling the truth, and choosing to be here - again and again.…
