This is a true story and you find out in the beginning that Rachel and her husband were following their dreams and living well, painting murals in people's homes. When the economy went bad they lost most of that income. Rachel finds herself wondering what she should do. She really explains her feelings well. Driving home one night they see something in front of them. It was a donkey. It takes them some time to get him to their barn. They plan to find his owner. Mean time they tend to his wounds. They find out, that finding his owner won't be easy. Being animal lovers they can't bear to think of abandoning this sweet donkey, so they eventually decide to keep him.
Rachel tells of all that happened since that day and how God has used Flash (the donkey), to teach her truths in His word. I really enjoyed this book. A fun and lighthearted read.
A great big thank you to Revell books for my free copy of Flash, for my honest review.
Maybe some will enjoy reading every detail of the life of the donkey (and the author,) I didn't. In the chapters that I read the language was clean and there was no violence/sexual content.
