From the bestselling author of Born to Run, a heartwarming story about training a rescue donkey to run one of the most challenging races in America, and, in the process, discovering the life-changing power of the human-animal connection. "A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor." —John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog When Christopher McDougall decided to adopt a donkey in dire straits, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. But with the help of his neighbors, Chris came up with a crazy idea. Burro racing, a unique type of competition in which humans and donkeys run side by side over mountains and through streams, would be exactly the challenge Sherman and Chris needed. In the course of Sherman’s training, Chris would enlist Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, the service animal community, and two Sarah Palin–loving long-distance female truckers. Sherman’s heartwarming story of overcoming all odds to run one of the most unbelievable races in America shows the healing power of movement and the strength of the human-animal connection. Look for Christopher McDougall's new book, Born to Run 2, coming in December!

Even frustrated grammarians will giggle at the who’s-on-first routine that begins with a donkey’s excited announcement, “I yam a donkey!” Unfortunately the donkey’s audience happens to be a yam, and one who is particular about sloppy pronunciation and poor grammar. An escalating series of misunderstandings leaves the yam furious and the clueless donkey bewildered by the yam’s growing (and amusing) frustration. The yam finally gets his point across, but regrettably, he’s made the situation a little bit too clear . . . and the story ends with a dark and outrageously funny twist.
This book is a tale of a young innocent man’s journey throughout his life. Describing his encounters and adventures, while showing how life was a century ago. Then comparing it with today and reminding people, that life could be good, even through turbulent times. His journey was a long one, starting from a very young age, describing many interesting events as he grew up, some sad, funny, heartbreaking and dangerous. His U.S. Navy exploits throughout World War II in Key West, North Africa, Italy, England and Normandy provided many details of how life was during combat, as part of the U.S. Naval 5th Amphibious Force during World War II. Afterwards, he entered the Pacific combat zone in the Philippine Islands and its main task, the assault on Okinawa, Japan. There were many important events described as to how difficult life could be and how a person could survive. The effects of combat in later home life, and the problems when returning with changed attitudes and having very little to begin a civilian life with, was hard to cope with.
