WHAT A STORY!

The Vignettes of Jōd tells 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
observation of  those special people he meets
along the way, his life becomes an  adventure on
the back roads and byways of America when
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 where he faces the toughest
situation of his life and takes command of it.
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.
