Letting Go of the Reins: The true story of a man who left the Amish and the woman who helped him
Vicki Botner can trace her roots back four generations in the central Wisconsin town of Coloma where she grew up. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English, then earned a Master of Arts degree in Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Other interests and hobbies include jewelry making, glass fusion, and scuba diving. After recently discovering that she has ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War, through her only grandparent who was not from the Coloma area, Vicki is eager to research and learn more of the family history that had been lost and forgotten.  Vicki lives in Little Rock, Arkansas, with her husband, son, and two large dogs: an Australian Shepherd and a 100+ pound mixed-breed that she found as a puppy in a grocery store parking lot.
