The biblical account of the life of Jesus has not been changed, but fictional characters are woven in and around the facts. There is Benji, the frightened little boy who meets the shepherds as they go to Jesusπ stable. There is also Laire the Lazy who races the soldiers to Bethlehem in a desperate effort to save his son. Adad, a young man living on the road to Egypt, sees Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as they flee from Herod to Egypt. There is more, even a temperamental donkey named Sheba.

The people, circumstances, and experiences of Keturahπs life build to the moment when she comes face to face with that Person of compassion and miracles, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God.

Note: This book uses the biblical name for donkey, "ass".
