My Secret Self – Book 2: Questioning Life in Marriage Kindle Edition

by Christine Cowin (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
What is life all about? I am sure it’s not the path I’d found myself on. Who ordained this life for me? What was my purpose on this earth?

All my life, I had been boxed into what those around me perceived me to be. I allowed them to shape me, and I struggled with this. We are all programmed to believe we are what we were conditioned into. As an adult, I took on the role of a wife and mother, not discovering who I am, because I was a member of a family, a wife, a mother: slowly losing myself to a preconceived belief of me. But deep within me, my spirit stirred and said no, this is not you. Seek out the knowledge, and remember who you are.

Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers' FavoriteMy Secret Self: Book 2 - Questioning Life in Marriage by Christine U Cowin is the second book by this author. In this autobiography, the author talks about her married life and how it affected her as a person. Christine shares her life views as to how she spent her life the way the world perceived her and how she became prey to pleasing the world rather than herself. More self-reflecting than accusatory, Christine talks about how women tend to lose themselves in their home, their families and the responsibilities that they have. We let others shape us into a new person and forget what it means to be ourselves. She is one of those rare few women who actually realize that they are losing themselves and they need to do something about it before it is too late. She felt the urge to believe in herself, wake herself up, and do something before it was too late. This book asks some very difficult questions that we may not have answers to, but Christine asked herself these questions and answered them to find herself once again.This is one of the most encouraging and enlightening books I have read. It is empowering to read, giving courage to women to put themselves first. The narrative is very gentle. Christine does use any harsh words and keeps her tone light at all times. In My Secret Self, she makes sure that her point comes across in the most genuine way possible. Her word choice is just perfect; she allows the reader to get interested because they want to, not because they have to. Agreeing to put yourself first is very difficult, especially for women who have been conditioned to put everyone else first. I think this book would be a great help for women who are trying to break free and learn to love themselves. Christine's story is encouraging as well as educational for women of all ages.

From the Author

Were you conditioned in your family to believe as a young woman your options were marriage. And in doing that you questioned the truth behind these beliefs. I questioned marriage, and my Spirit knew there was more to my life than what had been mapped out for me.

    This is truly a thought provoking and interesting book written especially for women.
    Do you ever question your life, your purpose or why you’re on the path you chose?Or even, did you choose this path or just followed the way you were expected to go ?
    All of us, to some extent, have let others influence what we believe, what we do and how we react.
    The author, Christine U Cowin, writes this autobiography with complete candor and honesty. In self reflection she discusses how women can lose themselves in their home as they take on the
    responsibilities of their family. Christine decided to change that. She wanted to believe in herself and change her life before it became too late. Putting yourself first is very hard for women as we seem to naturally put our families first.
    In certain age groups, I'm sure we were brought up to believe our options in life were for marriage and children.Do you feel you never had the chance to discover who you really are or what you were meant to become?
    She begins her introduction telling how deceived we’ve been in life. We've taken jobs that are expected of us and have waited for marriage, home and families to care for.
    Do you feel you’ve missed out on life? Do you have that secret part of yourself that’s waiting to be exposed ? Christine tells us, we were born to experience life, to grow as a person and a woman.
    Maybe it’s time to live your life,take the reins and begin.
    This book showed me how to question my life and choices. If you're at that crossroad, this book is waiting for you to explore. I highly recommend this to you.

    My Secret Self by Christine Cowin is the second book in the My Secret Self series, and I personally feel as though this series found me as opposed to me finding it. The way that the author recounts her marriage to Javier makes my heart hurt. My heart does not just hurt for her because of the way that she was treated, but also because I know exactly what it feels like to be spoken to in a similar way and treated like that. The author’s last chapter has me wondering if this woman knows me. I have spent so much time asking the same questions that she goes over and I’ve even described myself in the same way. I am someone who wants to KNOW. I want answers and until I get them I feel that I am constantly searching. Even the sources that the author looked to for answers to these questions are ones that I myself have looked at. To the author, I want to say that I see so much of myself and what I am currently dealing with in the words that you write. I cannot wait to read the third book to see where the questions have taken you. Knowing that your journey started much the same way as my own has is giving me more peace than you could possibly know. This book is one that I am going to read many times over, as it almost feels like I am reading the story of a friend as they tell me that everything is going to be okay.
