Signed by Mel This Wasn't The Plan: Grieving the Golden Years that Never Came

Told in a fiercely funny and emotionally raw voice, This Wasn’t the Plan is a hybrid memoir that blends wit, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom. Through short, sharp essays and narrative reflections, the author explores what it means to grieve a life you never got to live—and how to find freedom, purpose, and yourself on the other side.
