Blind Hope
by Kim Meeder and Laurie Sacher is a book about An Unwanted Dog and the Woman She Rescued. Are you a dog lover? This book will work its way into your heart as you read about shattered dreams, broken people and an unlikely companion.Laurie is working a new job at the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, a place for healing, only she needs healing as well. Deciding to adopt a dog, Laurie drives to pick her up, upon arriving she finds Mia, a sick and sorry looking dog, what was she thinking? Deciding to Mia home, Laurie finds herself on a journey that will help her find peace and love. Mia is becoming blind and is very sick, as Laurie finds herself caring more and more for Mia she finds her heart opening up.
I love the conversations in the book between Laurie and her boss, Karen, they make the book very personal and real. As I read this story I felt hope and happiness, the antics of Mia are so sweet that you can't help but laugh, and it's amazing to learn how this little dog overcomes her great troubles.
A very touching story that will tug at your heart and I have a copy to giveaway! Read the details below!!

ReplyDeleteYes I am a definitely a dog lover. While I was working (9 hours a day) I didn't have enough time to spend with a dog. Now I really want one, maybe a Pekinese, Japanese Chin, Papillon or other small breed dog. I like to name dogs after I get to know them more. Past dogs were:

ReplyDeleteHi Laurie!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog.
We have two pugs: Saydee and Mia. They are both fawn pugs. We got Saydee in 2005 as a pup, and adopted Mia in 2007 as she had been attacked by the boxer she lived with and lost an eye. They bring us a lot of laughter! This book looks wonderful!

We don't have a dog right now, but have had one. If we were to get another, I would like a yellow lab named Snuggles.
