While I'm Young

I wrote this book because I think everyone has a story worth sharing. It's a reflection on where I come from. I know my story isn't special or crazy, but it represents who I am. People think a lot of things about me and paint me in a way that I never intended to be painted. I don't want to be remembered as the girl who authored seven books before turning 20, or the girl who plays violin and composes music, runs marathons, travels the world, models, and goes to law school. Yes, those are things I do. But no, I want to be remembered for something else: where I come from-who I am beneath all these resume builders. Beneath it all, I'm a normal girl, just like you. I have loving parents, supportive friends, drama, and hardships. At the end of the day, this book is not going to please everyone, but that's the risk you take when you write about your life and those in it. So here it is. For starters, my name is technically not Chloelia Salome-I'm someone you probably don't even know yet.
