Melanie M. Johnson will be signing books today in Carthage. The Carthage native recently released her book entitled Womanly Wisdom: What “they” Couldn’t Tell Me which includes her psychological and emotional struggle of battling through domestic abuse and negative self talk. “This book was written for every woman (or man) who may be experiencing this, has gone through it, and the ones that feel alone in their suffering. You are not alone” says Ms. Johnson. Being a survivor of domestic abuse, Melanie said she takes every opportunity to use her voice to speak against domestic violence, bullying, depression and suicide.
