Emily P. Freeman’s writing life grew out of a mobile early life and a practical first career. Born in Indiana, she spent formative years in Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, and Michigan before moving to Greensboro, North Carolina, for college. She earned a B.S. from the University of North Carolina Greensboro and later completed a master’s degree in Christian Spiritual Formation and Leadership at Friends University, where she now serves as a residency lecturer.
