New beginnings

I loved that Connor at least tried to undo the damage to Emily that he had caused. I’m anxious to see how Em and Zoie traverses the next chapter. Garth will of course be their guide. 💙

Love Labs!

I so enjoyed books one and two. Garth sounds like the best Guide Dog. I am starting book three, an so looking forward to book four.
Anyone who reads or listens to the series will not be disappointed.

I loved this book!

I learned tons about advancements to help blind people, and the guide dog Garth is adorable in his chapters. Highly recommend for road trips.

More than worthwhile - a way to “see the world” in a positive way

Very much appreciated the narration. The story is inspiring and encouraging. There are few opportunities in this world to read/listen to something that makes you hopeful and thankful!

I couldn't put it down

I have been a long-time fan of Ms. Barb work. I absolutely love that this novel is out on audio. It was taking me too long to read it by sight.
I absolutely love how she captures what it's like to be in this position, how you are down and out wanting to give up, but we get inspiration and encouragement to keep going. Barb has really done her research. I never knew there was so much more.
I love how Garth also has his own story to tell. Remarkable writing. Absolutely remarkable storyline that keeps you captivated and immersed in the depths of the content.
I can not wait for the next 2 novels comes out.
Love the twist, the emotions of characters, and how they completely have each other in full support. Makes you feel like you're really there as the fly on the wall, or the Kitty Kat on the shelf up high looking around at everyone.
I love this series.
Narration was perfect from them both.
Thanks so much for all of your works, y'all. love love love it!!!
