Connecting through stories and words

Poetic prose, inspiration, memoir 

Melanie Tito

Hi!

As a shy child growing up in concrete jungles in Southeast Asia, books were my refuge and inspiration. I am now based in New Zealand with my family.

This website focuses on my writing. Find out more about my books, or read more about me.

Thanks for coming by!

HOW TO LOVE WITH A HEALING HEART

Woman to woman

Everyone has a story, and I have several, yet unwritten. But this is one that I wrote as a new-ish wife and a very new mama. I was living in a season of fire, a season of joy; a season of pain, and a season of faith. I started journaling, because that is what I do to process life. Eventually it took the shape of a book. 

Marriage and motherhood form the backdrop of my book, but in a wider way this book explores things that are common to us all. Mysteries of the heart, transitions, growing pains and inner healing. It is an honest and uplifting read for women (though a few men have enjoyed the read too!), especially new mothers.

It is a joy for me to share my story with you. x

This book is what happens when a poet writes a memoir! The author has an achingly beautiful way of describing love and heartbreak, motherhood and faith that you will come away from this book with a deeper understanding of your own heart.

When used appropriately,
words inform, inspire,
connect, heal,
transform.

Words move mountains.

I MISS

Not immortality

Or omniscience

Or even wisdom —

Just that same joy

I once felt

Running into the ocean

Wearing too many layers of clothes.
