The mentioned book is created by Lisa Erspamer and features letters from celebrities and non-celebrities alike, who wrote notes of gratitude to the women who raised them, reported People magazine.
The 47-year-old TV host's letter details the delights and downsides of living with her mother and her son Cooper, 14, in their Los Angeles home.
"Dear Mom, I received the note that you slipped under my bedroom door last night. I was very excited to read it, thinking that it would contain amazing, loving advice that you wanted to share with me," Melissa began.
"While I appreciate your desire to 'upgrade' your accommodations to a larger space, I cannot, in good conscience, move Cooper into the laundry room," she continued.
Melissa closed the letter with a heartfelt message.
"I love having you live with me and am very grateful for every minute Cooper and I have with you. You are an inspiration. You are also thirty days late with the rent," she said.
