Mary Christner Borntrager was born the seventh child in an Amish family of ten and went on to author of a series of novels with over , copies in print. I was looking for photos for another project when I ran across this picture from Choice Books photo files. Choice Books used to operate out of this building, long before Herald Press moved to town.

BORNTRAGER, Mary Christner PERSONAL: Born March 27, , in Plain City, OH; daughter of Noah J. (a farmer) and Mattie (a homemaker; maiden name, Yoder) Christner; .

There before me was a photo of this author busily autographing stacks of the Ellie series books at a Choice Books event years ago. Anyway, yes, Herald Press is bringing back the whole series, one book at a time, and the first one is launching today. See more in our news release on the book here. My husband got me one of the books each year for Christmas.

The Lord used Ellie to teach me some things about disciplining children. Later these books helped me to understand some problems in my marriage, and then helped me decide to make a new commitment to God. Thank you so much, Mrs. These are gifts for my granddaughter. I went to another school system and you went for more education so you could become a teacher.

Mary Christner Borntrager is a renowned American writer of mystery, Christian fiction, historical fiction, and adult fiction stories.

In the late s, I saw your picture in the paper and when I saw your name, it rang a bell. You were living in North Canton in the same mobile home park that I was. I knocked at your door and we had a nice visit and renewed our friendship. I want to congratulate you on the books you write in the later years of your life on Amish life.
