From the author of the Copper Star series,
winner of multiple awards, comes this heartwarming tale of
Samantha Christiansen, a young woman who is capable,
confident, good at her job of managing the family's olive
oil ranch...and is going blind. Gently pushed by her family
to get a guide dog, Samantha is partnered with Azure, a
yellow lab with infinite patience. Samantha and Azure are
assigned to Jack Shaw, an instructor known for bringing out
the best in his students...even those with absolutely no
experience with dogs, like Samantha. Jack understands how
difficult it can be to trust the unseen. A former
professional football player, he lost everything-his career
and his family-through a costly mistake. Jack is determined
to make the rest of his life count for something. He knows
he can help Samantha, if only she'll let him. Fiercely
independent, Samantha is reluctant to depend on anyone or
anything, even a guide dog that is trained to enhance her
independence. While at the guide dog school, Samantha is
faced with discovering a new way of seeing: trusting in
what, or whom, she cannot see.
