"I Was Told There’d Be a Village" Book By Melissa Wirt

"I Was Told There’d Be a Village", A Book by a Mom, for Moms 

Hi, I’m Melissa, mom of six, CEO of Latched Mama, and someone who’s in the deep trenches of motherhood right beside you. Motherhood is beautiful, messy, exhausting, and sometimes so lonely it hurts. When I became a mom, I was told there’d be a village, but what I found was a journey I had to figure out on my own.

After eight year of building this brand, I knew I needed to do more to help moms feel seen. This book is my heart on paper—filled with stories, humor, and hard-earned lessons from my own motherhood journey. It’s for the moms who feel like they’re doing it all alone, for the moms searching for connection, and for the moms who just need to know they’re enough.

 • It’s Real. No sugar-coating here—just honest, relatable reflections on the chaos, joy, and struggles of being a mom.

From My Heart to Yours:
I wrote this book because I wish I’d had it during my hardest days as a mom. It’s my way of reminding you that you don’t have to do it all or be everything to everyone. You’re enough, just as you are.
