In Melissa Marti's latest novel, "Uncommon Love," Megan Decker's life takes a transformative turn when she decides to leave behind the shadows of her past and start anew in a quaint Florida beach town. Reconnecting with an old friend, Seth, Megan finds herself immersed in the tranquil rhythm of coastal living, where the whispers of the ocean waves offer solace and inspiration.
As Megan navigates her way through the vibrant community and embraces the laid-back lifestyle, she discovers a sense of belonging she never thought possible. Yet, just as she begins to open her heart to the possibility of love and happiness, the echoes of her past threaten to disrupt her newfound serenity.
Haunted by insecurities and lingering doubts, Megan faces a pivotal choice: to succumb to the shadows of her past or to summon the courage to confront them head-on and embrace the life she truly deserves. "Uncommon Love" is a poignant tale of self-discovery, redemption, and the enduring power of love to heal even the deepest wounds.
It’s time to get to know yourself.
Sometimes we face circumstances that come to challenge our belief in who we really are. We can believe the lies that say we aren't good enough and have less value than someone else we see in our life, or we can choose to silence those lies and not let our circumstances define us.
It’s time to stop questioning your worth.
When you let God show you how the tragedies and trials of your life could be changed to triumph and testimony, you can allow Him to show you the true you.
“Melissa writes with startling honesty and vulnerability. From painful beginnings as a toddler making sense of her father’s death by suicide to failed marriages, she shares it all with an openness and mutual disbelief with the reader that it truly happened. Her life story is so foreign yet parts like feeling worthless so familiar. With one successful book behind her she takes responsibility for where she has stumbled in between. She admits to not taking her own counsel and her need for external worthiness was sought in old patterns. In uncovering her own lessons, she invites others to discover theirs. She asks reflective questions of herself on a continual personal development journey and supports those she connects with to do the same.
Taking life by the horns she is ready for an adventure to follow her big vision. She will jump on an airplane lead by intuition because she is passionate to uncover new opportunities to live out her purpose. She is humble and a champion of authentic women. She loves to look feminine and feel romantic. Her playfulness is evident in the bright colours she surrounds herself with from her clothes to her Jeep. She loves to wear hats which frame her piercing blue eyes. The beach is a source of metaphors and objects to decorate her cozy home. The sand and waves calm her to mind and make space for her creative writing. Her children are her greatest joy and her heart sings when they express their pride for her.
With God as her center she continues to seek the blessings in the lessons and generously shares them with her readers.”

what people are saying
“Melissa is a friend to all of those who read her books or hear her share her story.
It’s less that she tells you what to to find a better life, and more that she takes you by the hand and brings you along on her own journey to Reset.”
Amy Jennings Adams
“The world needs to see and hear from someone who is real and how to deal with real issues in life that break us. On how to keep living, how to go on, how to forgive, how to grow, in spite of wrongs life has thrown at you.”
Bethany Graham
“As I witnessed Melissa's strength through her lens and narrative, I could then accept her powerful invitation as a woman to love myself for all that I am.”
Linda Tilson
“There is just something about Melissa’s writing that always draws me in. At the end of the book, she describes a scene where she curls up with a special blanket, and that is just what I want to do when I open one of her books.”
—Amy Adams, review of Reset
“I love this perspective that you openly share with us.”
