Why I Wrote
Memoir of a Miscarrying Mama
Though common, miscarriage is often kept deep within a woman's heart. By sharing my story, I aim to bring more visibility to the experience and help women who desire to have children find hope and healing after setbacks, including miscarriage, so that whether or not they ultimately have children in this life, they find connection and can move forward on their journey with belief, purpose, fulfillment, and peace.
If this relates to you or someone you know, welcome.

Testimonials
Rebecca B.
To the many broken hearts currently aching: there is healing here! Thank you, Melissa, for being brave enough to swing wide-open a door that has been closed for far too long. Melissa's candidness challenges the idea that we are alone in our suffering and poses a profound question. Could our individual wounds -when shared, not hidden- be the key to our vast collective healing?

Absolutely loved it. Amazing work!! Thank you for capturing so many truths. Brought back memories of my miscarriage, and the memoir made me laugh, cry, and ponder.
FAQs
Answers to Your Questions on Becoming a Launch Team Member
Is it free?
Yes and no. You will receive a free digital copy of the book to read and a free audio copy via Marco Polo. However, you must be a verified purchaser to write an official review on Amazon, so when the book launches, I will make it available at cost (or free if possible) for a short time and let you know.
Do I need social media?
No, but if you do have social media and would like to write a few posts or stories during launch week, I'd be very grateful! This is totally optional.
What if I don't finish the book?
No worries. An honest review based on what you have read is enough.
Is this only for women?
No, anyone who is interested is welcome. There are portions of the book written by my husband from his perspective.
Can I join if I haven't experienced miscarriage?
Of course. Chances are, you know someone who has.
How will I know when to write the review?
I will email/text you when it is time. You will have a week or two to complete it.
Pro tip: Write a review in the notes section of your phone while it's fresh in your mind, then cut and paste when the time comes.
