Ich ahnte nicht, dass die Esel eines Tages auch mich retten würden.“ Patrick Barrett wuchs auf dem Rücken von Eseln auf. In einem irischen Dorf half der Junge seiner Familie, einen Zufluchtsort für Langohren in Not zu betreiben. Patrick, der in der Schule Schwierigkeiten hatte, fühlte sich nur in der Gegenwart dieser knuddeligen Tiere wirklich angenommen. Er wurde zu einem wahren Eselflüsterer. Als Patrick volljährig war, musste er als irischer Soldat in den Krieg im Libanon und im Kosovo. Er kehrte als gebrochener Mann nach Hause zurück und ertränkte die traumatischen Erlebnisse in Alkohol. Er glaubte, nichts könne ihn mehr retten. Aber da hatte er nicht mit den Eseln gerechnet Eine bewegende Lebensgeschichte wider alle Verzweiflung. Sie ist ein Aufruf zur Hoffnung und offenbart die Schönheit Irlands auf ganz besondere Weise.
