Summary
Sheila Hocken, born blind, recounts her journey to independence and self-discovery in this moving memoir. She shares how her life changed when she met Emma, a devoted chocolate Labrador guide dog. With Emma's guidance, Sheila gained the freedom to navigate the world confidently. The story delves into their special bond, the challenges Sheila faced as a blind person, and the transformative impact of Emma’s presence. Later, after a ground breaking surgery restores Sheila's sight, the narrative explores her adjustment to a sighted world and how her relationship with Emma evolves. Emma and I is a tale of resilience, love, and the profound connection between humans and animals.
