Summary

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.

Magical story.

This was a fantastic story. I felt i lived emily’s journey with her. Really loved the fact that the story was told from both points of view of both Emily and Garth. I loved the two narrators and felt they were perfect for this book. As a blind person myself i felt that the blindness was very well researched. I really hope that Audible do the sequel of this book and the same narrators read it. I loved the support that emily had from Druve and Zoe specially. I really did not like Connor from the start, i understand that being newly married and your wife going blind is a big adjustment however I don’t feel he really tried, everything was all about him and what he wanted.

great book but inaccurancies

its a fantastic book. i really did enjoy it. however being a blind person myself... certain things just didnt fit & could miss lead people.... dogs cant find all doors or places you instruct them to. it is the person that has 2 learn the skills to get the dog to be able 2 find said place. they are very very clever but there not people. nevertheless this is 1 of my new fave books.
