In our modern age where dual income lifestyles have become the status quo, this author discovers that no amount of money can replace the emptiness of returning to a neglected house at the end of the day. In addition, she voices the soulless existence of juggling multiple roles inside and outside the home, with never enough time and energy to give one’s best. Rest and replenishment become non-existent, while unhealthy coping mechanisms are adopted to just get through the days with little hope of change for the better.

After a decade of charity administrative work, Melissa gathers the courage to walk away from her comfortable position and the income that goes with it to revive her true calling by “Coming Home”. In the months that follow, she explores the dual purpose of caring for her family in a nurturing, supportive role while enjoying the restorative power of rest.

Coming Home: Leaving Busy to Save My Soul is a fresh reminder that despite modern societal advances, every family stands to benefit from having someone who is dedicated to creating the atmosphere of nurture which makes a home. Regardless of age, gender, or life season, families of every size need someone with the heart to be the light in the windows and the laughter in the kitchen; the anchor that pulls everyone together.

Despite the fear that accompanies the choice to sacrifice her career to take on an obscure, domestic existence of simply waiting on the needs of her family, Melissa thrives. In slowing down, she re-discovers rest, creativity and life passion that has been waiting for her to bravely choose this path all along.
