Inspirational Poetry of Connie Arnold

       I met my husband of 32 years while working in a factory near Rockford, Illinois

where we raised 4 home-schooled children. In 2009 we were evicted from our

home and sadly had to move to Leaf River and an apartment that didn't take pets

so I had to leave my beloved dogs at Animal Control and I have never seen them

since.

       But I learned something very important about life, and that is that it is in the

fertile soil of heartbreak and solitude that God can use to bring forth the heart's

desire of a novelist.
