Every Little Thing

You're invited to look through the eyes and mind of writer Melanie J. Makovsky as she shares this compelling first-person narrative from her adolescence to middle age. Step into her shoes and walk with her through the joys and hardships of marriage, parenting, and other familial struggles while grappling with the high probability of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. 

Every Little Thing is a message of faith - how it develops, how it grows, and how it flourishes even in spite of disappointment and spiritual abuse. It not only offers a unique and raw perspective, but it beautifully demonstrates how Christ's love grows stronger in the flames of adversity and sustains its power in the spirit of those who recall His mercies. You won't find another story quite like this one that grips you, inspires you, and compels you to live your life intentionally and to cling to faith as your greatest treasure.

Melanie Makovsky splits the world open by telling the truth about her life in this intimate, raw memoir. She captures her own voice at age 6 or 13 or 40 with clarity and precision-exploring life's joys and struggles. Readers will resonate with her honest, brave reflections on asking big questions about God, caring for a seemingly inconsolable newborn, being a military wife, battling postpartum depression, raising neurodivergent kids, losing her dad to Alzheimer's, and more. Ultimately, they'll find hope, grace, forgiveness, and faith woven into her story. - Keri Wyatt Kent, Author of Listen and Breathe
