About

Melanie Springer Mock is an award-winning Professor of English at George Fox University and author of six books, including most recently Finding Our Way Forward: When the Children We Love Become Adults. She is passionate about seeking equity and justice in local politics; and about the power of storytelling to reflect our fearful, wonderful creation in God’s image. Melanie is married to Ron, and is a mother to two grown sons, stepmother to two adults, and grandmother of three. In her free time, Melanie loves to run, swim, paddle board, and knit. She will happily pet any dog she meets.

Melanie earned her PhD at Oklahoma State and a master’s degree in English literature from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
