A Blind Woman’s Special Eyes
New book follows a poignant story of a woman as she journeys through life with a dog as her guide
Author Carole Borthwick brings a highly inspiring read as she releases, through Xlibris, a story that is bound to shed light to those who are in the dark. Guiding Tess is a touching tale that portrays the devotion of a guide dog as he paves the way for her independence and a life with purpose.
In a split second, on a sky blue, perfect day, Tess Morgan’s horse failed to clear that final jump and she would struggle forever in the terrifying world of darkness.
Four years later, a bitter and angry Tess begins her month at Leading Eyes, guide dog school for the blind. Her first day’s mishaps put her in a precarious position with the instructor/trainer, Josh Benedict. Josh pairs her with a handsome German Shepherd named Chance … the name alone made them both wonder.
Tess was soon humbled by this dog’s dedication. He calmed her anger, gave her confidence and a renewed sense of dignity.
Returning home to her family brought unexpected obstacles. The crux of the problem was her twin sister, Nora, who simply cared too much. Eventually, both girls are forced to understand, if Tess is to find her way … it will be by Chance.
Tess becomes comfortable with Chance and succeeds in stepping out in the world until once again fate knocks her down. Josh steps in to challenge her. “Chance is a highly trained guide dog. He was never meant to be, nor can he be, a household pet.”
Guiding Tess will hook readers as Chance goes beyond his training to help Tess find satisfaction in her dark life, but not without a price that involves the whole family. This release conveys a moving message of courage amid darkness.
