Eileen Berger

EILEEN BERGER has always loved fiction, and even as a teen promised herself that she’d someday write a novel. However, that had to be put on hold as she earned degrees from Bucknell and Temple Universities, then headed-up a pathology laboratory in Michigan. She later married Bob, whom she’d known since childhood, and moved back to north-central Pennsylvania, only about 20 miles from where they’d grown up. She did then write several novels, which didn’t sell, although hundreds of articles, short stories and poems were published. It was only in the ‘90s that her first novels were published—and the one in your hands now is number thirteen. Eileen is active in writing circles, especially St. Davids Christian Writers Association, whose excellent annual conference is the second-oldest and one of the most prestigious of these in America, and possibly in the world. She says that without these wonderful, caring writers, instructors, co-workers and friends, her career as a Christian writer would have been not only less successful, but much more lonely.
