Carissa Shillito

Carissa Shillito has always liked to write, draw, and play the fiddle. She grew up in a big city near Dallas and now lives in a small Kansas town. She loves riding in a dust-covered van along country roads with her husband and four boys and coming home to a Christian retreat center called Shalom, which means peace. It was there that her family had the privilege of living with an �Ernest,� who was 100 years old. Friends and family are the most important part of Carissa�s life besides her best friend, Jesus.
