About the book:

My Unforeseen Journey: Losing Sight Gaining Vision is the deeply moving story of a young woman, Melanie Taddeo-Nxumalo, whose life changes drastically after suffering a massive stroke that leaves her legally blind and completely paralyzed on her left side. Melanie, the author of this empowering narrative, imparts her experiences in a unique and inspiring way, providing profound insights for the reader to relate to in their own unforeseen journeys.

"Melanie is a force of nature. Her deep-seated belief in the potential of everyone inspires all around her. Especially me."

Kai Black, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

"Melanie's spirit is apparent the moment she walks into a room. Her passion to help people, who have faced incredible adversities in their lives drives her work personally and professionally. Melanie is a true powerhouse who takes on every single day with a goal to always achieve the best."

Lizz Noble, Filmmaker
