Description
When an unusual star appears on the horizon one clear winter night, among those drawn to its bright promise are two unusual shepherds - a dog named Lila, and Ima, a goat. Therein lies an adventure, and Thomas's departure from the familiar story treasured by generations. With their flock, the animals journey to Bethlehem following the bright star shining on the horizon, witnesses to a redemption of which they have no need. Yet as they make their way, encountering danger and opportunity, their journey becomes an extraordinary meditation, moving but unsentimental, on the nature of freedom and the state of natural grace in a world ruled by the power - and frailty - of humankind. - from Amzon
