Publisher's Synopsis
Miriam, a little shepherd girl and the youngest child in her family, tries to help but does not always get the desired result. Then one day an event happens that leads her to discover her special gift and to help a young family. We are reminded that no matter how young, poor, or seemingly insignificant a person may be, he or she can have something to contribute, and that sometimes the best gifts come from the most unusual or unlikely sources.
