A Reason for Hope (by Kristin von Kreisler)

I have begun to enjoy stories in which animals, specifically dogs, make a difference in a person’s life. This book does this very well. There are moments that are difficult to read, i.e., a date rape. Tessa has to deal with not only the trauma of sexual assault but the emotional distress of the court case. Hope is exactly what is needed for victims of rape as she provides the support Tessa needs to fight for justice. This is an emotional story of how a furry friend can supply the unconditional love and strength to find a way through such a dark moment and guide you to a sense of hope.
