-Titulo Original : Guiding Emily: A Tale Of Love, Loss, And Courage (Guiding Emily Series)-Fabricante : Casa Del Northern Publishing-Descripcion Original: Book: Guiding Emily: A Tale Of Love, Loss, And Courage (guiding Emily Series) - Paperback Review Guiding Emily takes readers through the heartbreak, the fear, and the triumph that so many of our visually impaired adult clients face. At the Foundation for Blind Children, we believe vision loss is a diagnosis, not a disability. Read this book--Emily Main personifies that belief, as she digs deep to find the confidence and strength she never knew she had. -- Marc Ashton, CEO, Foundation for Blind Children A page-turning, informative read with a tender shoutout to service dogs. Hinskes emotionally charged novel toggles between the storylines of a successful programmer who has gone blind and an earnest pup determined to ace his training as a guide dog. The tale begins with first-person narration by Garth, a guide dog who is excited about being introduced to Emily. The woman who would become everything to me. On his way to meet her, something on the carpet distracts him. Is that a Cheeto? A Crunchy Cheeto? he thinks. I love Crunchy Cheetos. Flashback to Emily Main, who is in Fiji with her fiance, Connor Harrington III, for their destination wedding. They are a power couple--hes a top salesman for a large corporation; shes a lead programmer. Emily suffers from myopic degeneration, which could result in detached retinas, and a fall from horseback causes her to lose her eyesight. Emily, a fiercely independent woman, plummets into a deep depression from which she would not have recovered had it not been for Dhruv, a programmer on her team at work. Dhruv convinces her to attend classes at the Foundation for the Blind, where she confronts her fears, learning skills for living independently. Meanwhile, and separately, Garth undergoes his own rigorous instruction and struggles, including a traumatizing incident in a restaurant where he is attacked by another dog. The two narratives do not converge until the concluding chapters of the novel. Hinske rotates third-person narration of Emilys story with delightful chapters written in Garths voice. Despite the dogs own anxieties, he provides the novel with comic relief. During a training session on navigating stairs, Garth observes a two-legged mother with a mass of gray curls on top of her head approaching, and he notes, Ive seen four-legged mothers with that hairstyle--theyre called poodles. While Emily grows into a fully developed character as the story progresses, Connor remains a superficial player. But it is the persistent kindness of secondary character Dhruv that will capture readers hearts. -- Kirkus Reviews A page-turning, informative read with a tender shoutout to service dogs.
