The Jerusalem Donkey Legend tells us that the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday also followed him to Calvary, for the donkey loved the Lord. Appalled by the sight of Jesus on the cross, the donkey turned away but could not leave. The shadow of the cross fell upon his shoulders and back, forever marking him and all of his descendants. Amidst a horse farm in Tennessee and the equestrian sport of Three-Day Eventing, arise jealousy and hate, love and forgiveness and a little pink burro marked with the cross. Paige Winston and her teenage twins, Jacob and Jaden, thrive in the equestrian world. Paige is consumed with bitterness and rage, her Christian faith shattered when her husband, Robert, was shot and killed by a stranded motorist. On a whim, she adopts a wild burro--and her life is transformed forever. Hannah Butler was ten when her mother's car was run off a dark road in Derbyshire, England by two motorcyclists. Hannah survived the horrific accident; her mother was killed. Seven years later, living in Jackson, Tennessee, a beautiful 17-year-old Hannah, classmate and best friend to Jaden Winston, realizes that her feelings for Jaden's twin brother, Jacob, have grown beyond friendship. When spring turns into summer, Hannah's sacred, Biblical ancestry finds her--putting her and the Winston twins on a collision course with a man of Goliath evil who knows about the Achsah Legacy.

Anyone who has sought the meaning of life will find this simple, yet profound story meaningful because it answers the eternal question with a Christian principal recognized universally - if we do not live to serve others, life has no real meaning. Dominique the Donkey is a tale about a wild donkey whose destiny is to carry the Virgin Mary to Bethlehem, and 33 years later, to watch her son, Dominic, carry Jesus triumphantly into Jerusalem. Dominique is the hero of her own journey to Diamond Peak, the highest of the sacred mountains in the Land of the Sands, where she seeks her wildest dream - to find the meaning of her life. She is sidetracked by the plight of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem. Her sympathy for the mother-to-be outweighs her wild nature, and she carries Mary to Bethlehem, learning the value of service. After the Holy family returns to Nazareth, Joseph releases her, and she continues on her journey of discovery to Diamond Peak, only to realize that the meaning of her life is not to be found there. Dominique returns to her wild herd outside Jerusalem to teach them what she has learned. There, she watches her son lose himself in service to Jesus by carrying Him into Jerusalem. As the mother and son watch while Jesus is crucified, Dominique comes to a full understanding of her journey, and the meaning of her life. At the crucifixion, Dominique and her son are rewarded for their service when the cross casts a shadow across their backs, a mark which donkeys have borne ever since. Children will enjoy Dominique the Donkey as it makes the Bible stories of Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem, and of Jesus making his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, more engaging through an animal's perspective. Parents will find the story useful in teaching their children about the value of a life of service, at the same time reminding themselves of the importance of the promise, "My yoke is easy, and my burden, light."

Kevin O'Hara's journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would try to circle the entire coastline of Ireland on foot—and with a donkey and cart no less? But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the whole of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Determined to reach his grandmother's village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along the entire jagged coast of a divided Ireland. Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland's greatest resource—its people. Along the way, Kevin would meet incredible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self. “One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written...In a style evocative of Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, O'Hara writes memorably of his most unusual way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” —Library Journal At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

On 23 September 1878 Stevenson set out from Le Monastier in the Haut Loire, to tramp through the wild region of the Cevennes. His only companion was a small donkey to carry basic necessities, and a commodious "sleeping sack". In the next 12 days, at a pace dictated by the donkey and carrying most of the supplies himself, he travelled 120 miles across rivers, mountains and forests. His stylish and witty account was published in 1879.
