Book Overview
Sometimes silence isn't an option.
At eighteen, Mel steps into flame-lit spears on her front lawn-her first mission to Papua New Guinea and the start of her life on the frontline. Travelling riot-torn streets abroad and tending to trauma debrief rooms back home, she collaborates with aid workers and law enforcement, strengthening her resolve to help others even as these experiences awaken buried memories.
A lone conversation with her brother yanks her back to a childhood shaped by abuse and family secrets. Armed with fierce determination, Mel refuses to merely remember; she vows to expose the hidden truths. Can she be heard before her family silences her?
Building the Bridge stands as a testament to compassion over revenge, sharing over silence, and the hope that emerges when we dare to break the cycles that bind us.
Some bridges crack. Others save lives.
Mel Baker is an award-winning author and filmmaker whose raw, honest narratives have inspired audiences worldwide.
