| "NEWS RELEASE" YOUNG BOY WITH SIX DOGS FOUND ADRIFT IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC ON GIGANTIC FLOAT OF WOOD TAKEN ABOARD THE SS MOLLY B CAPTAIN WILLIAM GRESHAM, MASTER! !!A STORY TO BE TOLD!! The Vignettes of Jōd is the story of an American son,a fiery lad, the second of four brothers separated in an orphan home after the death of their mother and the confinement of their father in penitentiary for life. In agony and despair, when the promise that the boys will be kept together is broken, his deep emotional wound at being discarded by family turns to anger that erupts into vitriol disrespect for all adults trying to rule his life and, with determination, evades adoption, running off every chance he gets determined that if anyone is going to give him away, it will be him to whoever he choses to be with. Placed in a reformatory of the Texas juvenile penitentiary system, he continues to run off, each time gaining the knowledge and the skills for survival. Ultimately, he breaks free to survive on his own, always in search of his place in the world with the hope of bringing four brothers together again one day. Honing his skills in 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. * * * "I told The Vignettes to give ears to a deaf world."
