Mary Ognan lives in Roxbury, Connecticut with her husband Bob. They have five children, ten grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren. Mary has lived in Connecticut for the past fifty years. She was born in Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Brooklyn High School for Homemaking. She worked for corporate offices in New York City for many years, and for various companies in Connecticut; she is now retired. Her hobbies include setting up Lionel train layouts, cooking, and collecting antique kitchenware and antique dolls.
Her love of country and steam trains can be traced back to her childhood in Brooklyn. As soon as school was out for the summer, her family headed for Grand Central Station to catch the steam train ride to Albany, New York. There she spent the summer months with family on their small farm. It was natural for Mary to incorporate the wonderful childhood memories she has of steam trains into her first novel.
Yeshua is Marys first novel and it includes the true story of how mightily the Lord worked in her life. She included a detailed description of what happened to her and how her son received a complete healing from God in chapter fourteen.
