About
Carole Schossow was born in Maquoketa, Iowa. Carole was born into a loving, Christian family. Her father, mother, five sisters and three brothers have all preceded her in death.
Although she enjoyed a long career in the banking industry, Carole has enjoyed this mission of writing poetry at this stage of her life as, “icing on the cake”.
The love of her life, Pastor Lyle Schossow, now deceased, is the greatest inspiration for her writings. Lyle’s true commitment and service to God, and her commitment to God, as well, make this journey one of great passion for her.
God has given each of us a mission in life. It may not come until we are much older, as mine has, but I am so thankful to Him for this blessing.
As my late husband would say, “Keep the faith!”
Description
<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding "No"; 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>
