Through Gilly's Eyes: Memoirs of a Guide Dog

Through Gilly’s Eyes is a moving coming-of-age story about a young man and the guide dog who loved him.

What would you do if you were sitting in school one morning and suddenly found you couldn’t see? When it happens to Matt VanFossan during his third year of college, it’s the start of a life he hasn’t planned on and definitely doesn’t want. When he’s paired with a new guide dog a few months later, he’s still in a state of denial.

But Matt’s new companion, named Gilly, isn’t one for self-pity – or modesty, as he describes himself as “one of the handsomest dogs at guide dog school.” A keen observer of the human condition, especially his human’s condition, Gilly provides a running commentary on Matt’s progress. And as Gilly and Matt learn to work together, the two gradually forge a relationship that transcends the ordinary bonds between dog and man.
From dog training school then back to college, from home and on to Brazil, Gilly relates their story with humor and insight. Through Matt’s challenging adventures, new friendships, and ultimately, lasting love, Gilly provides him with guidance and companionship for six years – a lifetime that will last forever.
Not a dog lover? You will be once you’ve finished this tale and looked at the world through Gilly’s eyes.

The Midwife's Here!: The Enchanting True Story of One of Britain's Longest Serving Midwives

‘Delivering my first baby is a memory that will stay with me forever. Just feeling the warmth of a newborn head in your hands, that new life, there’s honestly nothing like it… I’ve since brought more than 2,200 babies into the world, and I still tingle with excitement every time.’

It’s the summer of 1968 and St Mary’s Maternity Hospital in Manchester is a place from a bygone age. It is filled with starched white hats and full skirts, steaming laundries and milk kitchens, strict curfews and bellowed commands. It is a time of homebirths, swaddling and dangerous anaesthetics. It was this world that Linda Fairley entered as a trainee midwife aged just 19 years old.

From the moment Linda delivered her first baby – racing across rain-splattered Manchester street on her trusty moped in the dead of night – Linda knew she’d found her vocation. ‘The midwife’s here!’ they always exclaimed, joined in their joyful chorus by relieved husbands, mothers, grandmothers and whoever else had found themselves in close proximity to a woman about to give birth.
