In her upcoming book, Melinda recounts a significant turning point during her marriage: a haunting nightmare she experienced in 2019. In this dream, Melinda envisioned a beautiful house collapsing around her, which later morphed into a more distressing scene involving her three children—Jennifer, Rory, and Phoebe—plummeting into an abyss. Reflecting on this moment, she noted, “As dramatic as it sounds, I knew in that moment that I was going to have to make a decision and that I was going to have to make it by myself.”
