What to expect
even though they haven’t spoken in five years. Leaving her friends and her school behind. And going blind.
But then Hadley meets Lila.
Lila is an abandoned dog who spends her days just quietly lying around at the local dog rescue where Beth
works. She doesn’t listen to directions or play with the other dogs or show any interest in people. So when Lila
comes and sits by Hadley (which is hardly anything, but it’s more than she’s done with others), Beth thinks
maybe Hadley can help Lila. She tells Hadley they’ll bring Lila home as a foster dog and Hadley can teach her
to follow commands, walk on a leash, and be more of a people dog so she’ll be ready to be adopted.
Only working with Lila is harder than Hadley thought, and so is the mobility training she starts taking to
help with her failing vision. It feels like Lila is too stubborn to train and like learning to use a cane is impossible.
But unless Hadley can help Lila, she’ll never be adopted into a home. If Hadley could just let go of her anger,
she might be able to save Lila … and herself.
New York Times bestselling author Kody Keplinger weaves an unforgettable story about discovering true
friendship, finding home, and the possibilities of forgiveness.
