An unwanted dog. An emotional rescue. Laurie's dreams had been shattered before she came to work at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. In an attempt to soothe her aching soul, Laurie reached out to save a dog in need. And she soon began to realize that the dog was rescuing her. An inspiring true story told through the engaging voice of Kim Meeder, Blind Hope reveals poignant life lessons Laurie experienced from her ailing, yet courageous canine friend. Despite the blindness of her dog—and her own heart—Laurie uncovered what she really needed most: authentic love, unconditional trust, and true acceptance, faults and all. As Laurie and her dog, Mia, both learned to follow the lead of a master they couldn't see, Laurie discovered the transforming power of God's grace even for imperfect and selfish people—and she experienced a greater love than she had ever known. "Love is a bridge that stands firm through difficulties and connects one heart directly to another, not because of how it looks, but because of what it is." |
