About this listen

Sometimes the perfect partner has four paws....

Emily Main had it all: a high-powered career with a leading technology giant and a handsome fiancé bounding up the corporate ladder. Their island wedding and honeymoon were idyllic, until a tragic accident causes her retinas to detach.

Her well-ordered life is shattered as all treatments are unsuccessful and she slips into blindness. How will those around her cope with her tragedy? Can she rebuild her life in this most unwelcome new normal?

Meanwhile, a black Lab puppy named Garth fulfills his destiny to become that most esteemed of all creatures: a guide dog.

Guiding Emily is a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and courage as Garth and Emily make their way to each other.

Loved ‘’Guiding Emily’!

‘Guiding Emily,by Barbara Hinske,is a moving story about a young career woman who went blind after a tragic accident.Emily Maine was on her honeymoon when she fell from a horse and detached her retinas. While Emily waits in vain for her sight to return,she becomes very depressed and refuses to get out of bed.


Eventually ,with help from her mother,co workers, a little precocious girl named Sophie,mobility training and a wonderful,loving guide dog med Garth, Emily begins to joyfully live a full life again!
Garth is narrated by Fred Bremen who’s voice brings Garth to life! Garth is my favorite character!


I highly recommend this delightful ‘tail’!

Can’t wait for the sequel to be released this fall!

Happy reading!

Inspiring

Loved the book. It was easy to visualize the scenes. The narration was done well. I won't comment on the voice changes as I have read other critiques and disagreed. I think it is all subjective. ENJOY!

Entertaining

The real life situations are so well written you don’t have to guess if the facts about guide dogs (and fake service dogs) are real. Thank you for addressing that very real senerio

Wonderful

I am a dog lover and loved this story. The only thing is that it’s too short six hours. It’s not enough.

Wow.

A beautiful story of triumph, learning what you’re made of and following your heart and dreams. This was a wonderfully written emotional story that will keep you listening. We learn in alternating chapters about Emily’s journey and that of Garth, her canine soulmate service dog in training. I wouldn’t have minded if the husband was just a little less of a horrible human being. I knew he was a jerk from chapter one, but the level of narcissism had me wondering why Emily, an otherwise smart and together person would have been and stayed with him in the first place. He was a 15 on a scale of 10 for the ick factor.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!

this is the first time I've ever listened to a book by this author and everything about it just makes you feel so warm and fuzzy. the narration was fantastic and the way the story was told gives great insight into the life struggles and feelings of someone who has lost their sight by accident after being sighted all their life. I wish there was a sequel to this book and I'm looking forward to trying more books by this author . I highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed
