Will Mara ever have lots of friends like other children? Sapphire, the mama donkey, has a problem that would normally render her useless: She refuses to be ridden. But she maintains her utility by hauling lumber, carpentry tools, and loads of fabric, while also helping local shepherds watch over their flock.
