I absolutely loved this book. I can relate to this story because my retina detached in my right eye and I loss 70% of my center vision. I am legally blind. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. ( )

In the beginning I struggled a bit to find my footing with this book. In fact, I had only gotten a few chapters in and stopped listening. I came back to this book a few weeks later. Something happened and I was feeling this book. I finished listening to it in one day.

The narrators Julia Whelan and Fred Berman were great. Mostly this story is focused on Emily and her journey from losing her sight to learning to live a normal life with vision impairment. I enjoyed most of the characters in this story. I hated Emily's husband, Conner. Every time that he made an appearance in the story, I would cringe. Kids are so adorable in stories. Zoey was no exception. The way that she wanted to help Emily was cute.

Garth is training to be a guide dog. I loved his voice in this story. I wanted him to be featured more. The moments when he was, were so funny and great. There is a moment in this story were Garth has an encounter with another dog that was very real like and got me very emotionally charged. The way that his trainer, Katie reacted to the other dog owner is justified. I actually trained a guide dog many, many years ago. So, I know how important the training is to these dogs and to have a moment like the one Garth and Katie encountered can be very traumatic.

If you were looking to this book to learn something about training a guide dog, you won't learn from this book. However, this dis not discount the fact that this is a good book that is worth your time to read or listen to the audio version. ( )
