As they slowly make their way to the city in search of sustenance the family suffers further downturns and are forced to sell their remaining possessions, including Jacobo the burro, Scruffy's dear friend. When her last protector, little Marta, takes ill and is rushed to a poor people's hospital, Scruffy is lost in the big city

Notă biografică
My writing journey is shaped by three pillars of my life's philosophy: * A love of all earth's creatures * A belief in the inherent dignity of all people * Active solidarity with marginalized people Over the last three decades I have lived and worked in Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. I worked alongside socially and economically marginalized people in a diversity of rural development programs. This work gave me an immersion in a depth of multi-cultural experiences. My work took place in many war-torn countries and focused on displaced people--either in Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps or simply (and sadly) homeless--having fled violence in the countryside to urban areas; the rural poor; and orphans and vulnerable children. These countries included Peru, during the Shining Path war, Colombia during the FARC and paramilitary offensives, and northern Uganda during the Lord's Resistance Army war. I am passionate about the active inclusivity of diverse cultures and considers it a lifelong learning activity. I also love animals. I rescued horses and ran a dog shelter out of my various homes abroad. I currently live on a farm in Central Oregon and raise chickens, horses, dogs, and cats. I work as a volunteer with Oregon's small but growing Latino population. I am also working with a colleague in Uganda to develop a school -- with a main objective of ensuring that girls finish their education through high school.
