After spending 56 of her 61 years in Birmingham, Alabama, Melanie Walker-Malone has recently moved to Takoma Park, Maryland to be nearer to her children and grandchildren.  This means that she has also weaned herself from her eighteen-year stint as Founder and Head  Teacher at Red Mountain Community School, a provender school devoted to Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and methods.  She returns to the school in Birmingham regularly to care for teachers and curriculum while securing the sustainability and longevity of this beloved work.

 

Melanie is entering what she calls a "new chapter," full of seasonal living, reading, long walks, baking, keeping, making, and exploring the riches of the DC area. A Sequel serves as a keeping library  - the As, Bs, and Cs - for the various writing created throughout a life informed by Charlotte Mason, Saint Benedict, and the City of Birmingham.
