Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;">No Lady and Her Tramp</span></em><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a hilarious unconventional book by the writing team of Kristie Leigh Maguire and Mark Haeuser. Growing up in a small southern town full of trailer parks similar to President’s Trailer Park, I can tell you this book is pretty true to life. Gossip, rednecks, fights and sex among the residents, are all part of southern small town life. The love between Beth Ann and Billy Ray is warped, but strong in its own way. If you need a little humor in your life or if you are just looking for an off-the-wall romance, then pick up <em>No Lady and Her Tramp</em>, the reader won’t be disappointed. </span></span><br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">Reviewed by Jennifer Ray for The Road to Romance</span></span></em></p>
