Melody is a wife, mother of 4, full-time student, healthcare professional, and survivor. She courageously shares about the trauma and abuse she endured throughout her life, including both Amber and Melody opening up about their shared experiences, particularly regarding their mom's second husband.

Over the years, therapy has helped her work through her experiences, landing her on more solid ground.
