Review:
"Chandra Hoffman's "Chosen" is a finely tuned page-turner. . . . There is no perfect happiness here; instead, there is the unexpected grace of discovering that getting what we want is so often less ideal than wanting what we get. This is an outstanding debut."--Therese Fowler, author of "Reunion" and "Souvenir"

"Gripping. . . . A heartfelt story well told."--Kirkus Reviews
