Home Author Author’s Note A Selfish Life By Marisol Schowengerdt Read the first chapter  I recently completed my fist effort at writing a book titled A Selfish Life. My intention for the book is not to over think the subject of parenthood, but to provide a perspective from couples and individuals who struggle with the status quo and choose a “selfish life” over parenthood.  The journey of Kevin and Modra as they go through life’s stages and then veer off from tradition is a roller-coaster of emotion.  The reader will experience a storm of torment with Modra as she sifts through her life and fights her fears of regret, self-doubt, and guilt;   there are moments of love and sadness for Julie as she yearns for a baby she cannot have; and many mothers will identify with Christine as she learns to accept and support her daughter’s teen pregnancy.  Modra, Julie, Christine, and Veloria, are four very different women who are pulled closer together through the mischief of the uterus. marisol@aselfishlife.com
