Last night, Anna and I went to Ravenna Third Place books for a book reading that I will never forget.
Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes came with their service dog Rescue on their book tour.
Jessica and Patrick were two of the victims of the Boston bombings in 2013. This article tells more of their remarkable story of courage, determination and hope.
about the book:
"Rescue thought he'd grow up to be a Seeing Eye dog -- it's the family business, after all. When he gets the news that he's better suited to being a service dog, he's worried that he's not up to the task. Then he meets Jessica, a girl whose life is turning out differently than the way she'd imagined it, too. Now Jessica needs Rescue by her side to help her accomplish everyday tasks. And it turns out that Rescue can help Jessica see after all: a way forward, together, one step at a time."
