Sometimes silence isn't an option.
At eighteen, Mel steps into flame-lit spears on her front lawn-her first mission to Papua New Guinea and the start of her life on the frontline. Travelling riot-torn streets abroad and tending to trauma debrief rooms back home, she collaborates with aid workers and law enforcement, strengthening her resolve to help others even as these experiences awaken buried memories.
A lone conversation with her brother yanks her back to a childhood shaped by abuse and family secrets. Armed with fierce determination, Mel refuses to merely remember; she vows to expose the hidden truths. Can she be heard before her family silences her?
Building the Bridge stands as a testament to compassion over revenge, sharing over silence, and the hope that emerges when we dare to break the cycles that bind us.
Some bridges crack. Others save lives.
Mel Baker is an award-winning author and filmmaker whose raw, honest narratives have inspired audiences worldwide.

"Baker's determination to confront her past, understand it, and speak openly about it gives the memoir a sense of purpose and a beacon for those who have been through similar struggles." - Independent Book Review

In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone.
