5.0 out of 5 stars Emma and I, February 12, 2000

By 

Lady Gee (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emma and I: the True and Inspiring Story of a Young Woman's Triumphant Search for Sight (Hardcover)

A moving life story of a blind woman and her incredible guide dog Emma. This book is a rollercoaster of deep emotions that Shela feels for Emma and life they lead together, and makes us , readers, feel it too. What can I say...This is the best book I have read in the last ten years.One of those that you just can't put down, one of those that you keep in your home library and read over and over again...However,once you've read this, you'll want to read the sequels too, which are just as good...

Enjoy !

5.0 out of 5 stars She was blind, but now can see..., November 5, 1997

By 

[e-mail] (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emma and I (Signet) (Paperback)

Sheila Hocken shares her life with us in this biography which highlights both her experiences using a seeing-eye dog for the blind; then having her vision restored later in life.

I suppose you would have to have been blind to appreciate the intensity of the moment when her sight is restored. How do you describe light and colors for the first time? Thank you, Sheila, for sharing this experience with us, the readers. Waiting to hear the rest of your life story. (Hardcover has photos).

Cindy, former Guide Dog puppy raiser (Florida.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emma and I: 2 (Hardcover)

Usually you hear of people's experience loosing their sight. Now I have an idea of what it's like to have sight after a lifetime of blindness. This book gave me a whole new respect for blind people, guide dogs, and sight itself. Thanks Sheila Hocken!
