After two traumatic events and a medical diagnosis leaves her childless at 40, Melanie uses the lessons from global travel to relearn how to let go of the life she had planned and love one she has. Life on her own terms.

Incongruent takes the reader on a journey through Nepal to Everest Base Camp with stops in dozens of other cities and countries on her search to find meaning outside of motherhood. Through her journey she tackles her own beliefs on father/daughter relationships, unrequited love, religion and spirituality, and sex, among others. It is a story of finding ourselves and our personal dharma even in the midst of life's wreckage. About becoming resolute about who we are, what we stand for, and who we want to be in this life. A story of growth, challenge and perseverance, Incongruent inspires readers to dive into their own life journey to consider the possibility that they have more potential than they are currently tapping into.
