Melissa Moore

Melissa G. Moore is the daughter of Keith Hunter Jesperson, a man infamously known as the Happy Face serial killer. Melissa's intuition and courage forged a drive within her to create a new way of life—one rich with contribution and full of meaning. As a national best-selling author and domestic abuse prevention advocate, she shares a dynamic message of having the courage to shine through adversity and the unlimited power of choice in our lives.

By using tact and compelling stories of real-life examples, Moore provides insights, strength, and encouragement, as well as hope to women who blame themselves. She delivers speeches on topics such as breaking free from domestic abuse and recognizing relationship abuse.
