Melanie Thurston grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania, between Philadelphia and Amish country. She currently resides in South Carolina, smack in the middle of the Bible Belt. This is her second foray into writing about her Creator and Savior. She and her husband have three beautiful daughters and three cuddly cats. Along with writing, she loves cooking (specifically making homemade jam!), reading, and crocheting-all with Southern Gospel music playing in the background.
