Melanie Leach is originally from South Louisiana and now lives in North Dallas. She was a marketer for twenty years, most recently at Pepsico. However, for the last ten years she and co-author, Susie Hawkins, have enjoyed sharing Jesus in the Passover. Melanie has always been interested in and curious about Christianity’s Jewish roots and heritage. She and her husband, Will, have led Christian Passover Seders for several years in their home with friends, co-workers, believers and non-believers. These Passover dinners sparked wonderful conversations around the table and compelled her to bring the "Passover for Christians" experience to others.
Melanie is actively involved in Student and Women's Ministries at her church and community as a teacher and volunteer. She and her husband of 19 years are foodies who enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and neighbors. They also have a 14-year-old son, Nicholas, who keeps them on their toes.
