YOUNG BOY WITH SIX DOGS FOUND ADRIFT IN
MID-ATLANTIC ON GIANT FLOAT OF WOOD
TAKEN ABOARD THE SS MOLLY B
CAPTAIN WILLIAM GRESHAM, MASTER!
HERE IS A STORY OF COURAGE UNIQUE IN
ANY TIME OR AGE.
The Vignettes of Jōd is the story of a fiery
orphaned lad and ward of the State of Texas
who, with determination and courage breaks
free to find his place in the world.
Learning the skills of survival through his
observations and those special people he meets
along the way, his life becomes a whirlwind
adventure on the back roads and byways of
America.
During a violent storm, mother nature's wrath
sweeps him and his two faithful companions,
Little Red and Ranger, out into the Gulf on a
huge drift of wood.
Jōd faces dangers and challenges but, he also,
realizes a freedom and joy that is exhilarating
and special to the time.
"I told The Vignettes to give ears to a deaf
world." Shippinbow.
The honest, straightforward telling of this story
speaks well for the author and takes on a reality
that is timeless.
