Melanie's Journey

Melanie Esther Gresham is a divorced single mother who is struggling with many things:anxiety, finances, anger, etc. Within a year's time, she has lost two close friends and her grandfather. Her grandmother, with whom she's extremely close to, has Alzheimer's that has progressed rapidly. Mel, although a very faithful woman, is like many other Christians and struggles with understandingGod's will; she's always secretly wondering, Why did God let this happen? Her daughter Journey is herentire world and quite an outgoing and spunky young lady. Although Mel used to be those thingsherself, the anxieties and responsibilities of being a single mother along with the pain and sufferingfrom her divorce and the loss of many loved ones has truly taken a toll on her. After rushing to thehospital to meet her mother because Grandma's condition has suddenly worsened, she stumbles intowhat seems to be a dream world. There, she walks through her old childhood home (which burneddown decades before), and she meets and visits with many special people (that are no longer living). Each of them offers her stories and advice that help her with the things that have cause her to be socareworn.
