Melanie Rae is the author of Sitting in the Chair: When Something Didn’t Feel Right—How I Learned to Speak Up, a memoir and practical guide born from her experience advocating for her husband through a serious medical crisis. Before becoming a caregiver herself, she spent more than 20 years in healthcare leadership, including leading a Patient Advocacy Department.

The book is part memoir, part caregiver story, and part roadmap for finding your voice when someone you love needs you to speak up.
