Blind Hope

An unwanted dog. An emotional rescue.
Sometimes the life you save may be your own.

Laurie had her own shattered dreams before she came to work at Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch—the ranch of rescued dreams—where broken horses and broken children encounter healing every day. Reaching out to save a dog in need, Laurie soon realized 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 discoverd the transforming power of God’s selfless love even for imperfect and selfish people—and she experienced a greater love than she has 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.” -Kim Meeder, Blind Hope

This is the heartwarming story of Laurie Sacher who decides to adopt a dog one day without seeing the dog first. She decides to adopt this broken down dog because she can relate to feeling like a broken down person herself.

This is a must read! What a book, just make sure you have the tissue close. There are lessons of God’s faithfulness in our lives, how God keeps us close and wants the best for us, often keeping us from doing something harmful. Both Laurie and Mia learned lessons of trust, forgiveness and protection in this journey.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
