EMILY & GRANT’S HECTIC, BEAUTIFUL LIFE

The Guiding Emily Series is one of my all-time favorites! In Book Five, From the Heart, author Barbara Hinske again presents readers with another heartfelt story of Emily and Grant’s hectic, beautiful life. I am so impressed with how Hinske writes from the viewpoint of Garth, Emily’s beloved Black Lab Guide Dog. Hinske’s plots are constantly engaging, enlightening, and entertaining as she describes the life of a successful blind woman who has married the man of her dreams and their two daughters, Zoe and Diedre.

In this book, Hinske has Emily and Grant’s family facing everyday situations other families face. She details how much more challenging it is when one parent is blind and how it affects normal day-to-day activities when the other parent is out of town. The stress begins to take a toll on everyone and Emily and Grant decide changes must be made. Even though they have a great support system and couldn't do anything without Garth, Emily, and Grant realize they need to make decisions together...from the heart.

OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES!

Barbara Hinske’s Guiding Emily Series, starring the beautiful black Labrador Retriever, Garth, is one of my favorites. I am partial to black Labrador Retrievers myself and I love to read these books that are written with the Lab’s perspective! In Book 3, Over Every Hurdle, Hinske has written a story that provides readers with their favorite characters overcoming the obstacles in their personal relationships, work relationships, and in potential longterm relationships. Hinske has proven again that she knows how to write books that always have an interesting plot, teach us new things about people who are living without their sight, have dynamic family relationships, beautiful love stories, and always give extraordinary insights into the life of a guide dog.
