Books

I’ve written 14 books for Hallmark on friendship, love, and personal empowerment that have sold in Hallmark Gold Crown stores, Hallmark affiliated stores, and on Amazon.com. Here are the four most popular:

 
 

Ready to Give No Damns: Living, Loving, and Laughing Like You Mean It

So many women struggle thinking about everything we haven't done or haven't yet become. Even though we're so good at taking care of everyone else, we often end up feeling like we're not enough. It's time for every woman to know what author Melvina Young figured out: We're more than enough. It's time to be kind to ourselves—to love ourselves and put ourselves higher on our own to-do lists. Keep this book for yourself or give it to another fabulous woman in your life.

I love this book and bought it for my daughters and granddaughters! I’m a therapist and plan to use this when I do groups with women.

You & Me

I wanted to help couples capture and write to keep the things that keep loving going between them, from the sweet secret things, to the real and basic stuff of everyday life from the serious to the silly, to the almost sacred.

This gorgeous book is the perfect way to share memories of a wonderful life together! It would make a wonderful wedding gift for the couple to give to each other.

True Friend

A friend holds you down to earth, lifts you up, takes your back and always, always stands by your side. Someone like that deserves a book telling them just how very much they mean to you. So, I wrote one. You're welcome.

Words for the wordless. If you have big emotions for a friend and you don’t know how to express them, you can be sure they are found here. This book is beautiful and one that is sure to be kept on display as a reminder of the friendship.

When You Need To Know Your Strength

What can you say when someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer? How can you offer hope and encouragement? How can you say, " I love you" and "I'm here" when their life has just been changed and the challenges are unknown? After sitting beside the bed of a loved one with cancer and listening, I wrote this book.

A great inspiring book for a person who’s going through cancer. My friend absolutely love this.
