Melissa is a former Public History graduate and student of Dr. James Crisp. According to Dr. Crisp, Family Bible (published by the University of Iowa Press) is not an academic book or bibliographic essay. Rather, it is a work of 'literary non-fiction' that is Melissa's memoir of growing up in the Deep South (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) amid massive social change in the mid 20th century.

Currently Melissa is Head of Cataloguing at the Duke Library's Rare Book and Special Collections Department.
