A Second Self is Lori Callan's debut novel. This fictional account dives deep into a fascinating woman's psyche; Elizabeth I's impossible decisions; and the profound personal cost of those decisions. When a throne requires more than all one woman has to offer, what happens to the human being behind the crown? How is Elizabeth I - one of the most celebrated English Tudor monarchs - a marginalized character in her own story?Perhaps it has something to do with her mother, Anne Boleyn's execution when Elizabeth is just a toddler. Each mother figure, from governess to lady-in-waiting to stepmother will leave Elizabeth alone to fend for herself. Her forty-five year reign sees her gentlemen advisors concerned mainly with mating her, so a King can replace her. And what of her staggering personal sacrifice? Passion, love, genuine friendship, even her own identity - all pushed aside for a crown. Maybe the unrelenting solitude pushes her to the margins - the inevitable isolation accompanying Elizabeth I's desire to reign as only the second Queen in England's history. For Elizabeth I, is the cost of a royal wedding simply too high?
