"We do not want churches, because they will teach us to quarrel about God." ~~ Chief Joseph
Dianne Kosdrey Bunnell author of The Protest a fictional novel 'inspired' by the real life highjacking of her daughters.
Dianne, a magna cum laud graduate from Whitworth College with a BA in English and her teaching credential from St. Martin's College, taught high school English during the ten years of writing of The Protest.
A great story, beautifully written and full of understanding. It is about experiencing and turning that experience into wisdom, about pain and conquering, joy, and becoming. Dianne lived this wisdom throughout the real experience she wove into her book, and because she lives forward life is indeed very good today. Listening to Dianne is an inspiration ... in so many ways!
The following quote by Kafka was used when introducing Dianne at a lecture. It is so appropriate: "If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skulls, then why do we read it? …What we must have are those books that come on us like ill fortune, like the death of one we love better than ourselves, like suicide. A book must be an ice axe to break the sea frozen inside us.”
