Touching memoir of a man who is legally blind yet has lived as if he was sighted for most of his life. When he loses his job, he decides to finally get a guide dog. It is a short read full of emotions. I recommend it!

Stephen Kuusisto‘s memoir HAVE DOG, WILL TRAVEL was an absolute joy to read and review. I laughed, I cried, and I saw the often painful beauty of life in a new light. I am excited to read his poetry, as well.

A major goal of mine this year is to diversify my reading more. I am actually really excited to read both of these books. Have Dog Will Travel is about the travels of a blind poet and Freshwater is about a girl in Africa who sounds like she has bipolar disorder but it could be something supernatural as well. #tbr #springreads #biographies #diversereads

Have Dog, Will Travel by Stephen Kuusisto is an incredibly touching lovesong to dogs – not just guide dogs as a means for a person to be enabled, to experience so much more freedom, but simply the loving nature of these wonderful creatures and how they can transform a person's life. You will not simply finish this book and walk away. It will lodge itself into the depth of your heart and never let you go. Full review here: https://goo.gl/rQD9n9
