My name is Melanie Wilber, and I have always enjoyed writing. At the age of twenty-two, I decided to turn a childhood dream into reality by writing my first novel. Since then I have written more than 70 books for girls and women, including the "Heaven in my Heart" and "True Friendship" series for pre and early teens; the "Seeking Heart", "Pure in Heart", and "Abundant Life" series for teens and college-age readers; the "Garden of Love" and "Moments In Paradise" series for older teens and women; and several devotional books, independent novels, and a children's chapter book. My greatest desire is to know my God and make Him known. I believe in His unconditional love, and my mission is to help my readers embrace it for themselves. Some of my favorite Bible verses are Psalm 25:4-5, "Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." (NLT)
