But Baxter seems to love Cara, and that encourages Lenae to give her another chance.īaxter and Pickwick both get shout outs here.
A chance remark from Cara seems to support her judgment, and they get off on the wrong foot. She knows how vain and shallow the on-air talent can be, and that’s exactly what she expects from Cara.
When Cara shows up, it’s like Lenae’s old world is coming back to haunt her. But it’s the newfound freedom that Baxter gives her that inspires Lenae to change careers and try to help others find the same independence and freedom that she’s found with Baxter.
She decides that Baxter, her recently acquired guide dog, has way better judgment about people. Lenae’s confidence in her abilities and her skill in judging others takes a big hit while working as a newswriter. Her mother was equally driven to teach Lenae how to be independent. Lenae McIntyre has been blind since birth. It creates a lot of insecurity for her, as she wonders if she’s even real off-camera, and makes her cynical about people, even as she strives to highlight the good works some people do. The hypocrisy and shallowness of not only her parents, but of all of the women who profess to be interested in her, make Cara wonder if she’s just as shallow once the camera stops recording her. But her life was different once the cameras stopped her parents coolly driven for more achievements and more roles, and withholding affection from Cara and her brother unless they succeeded as well. She’s used to being in front of the camera it seems her whole life has been acted out for an adoring audience. But can they open up before it’s too late? The CharactersĬara Bradford comes from an acting family. To move forward and have a chance for happiness, they both need to not only trust the other, but most importantly learn to trust themselves. It’s only some meddling by Cara’s family that brings them into contact again, and they each get a chance to see beyond the surface to the person beneath. Lenae’s distrust and Cara’s insecurity and cynicism make sparks fly at their first meeting and interview. And now she works to provide other sight-impaired people the same freedom she found when she got her guide dog, Baxter. Lenae left her high speed job as a network newswriter after a bad personal experience leaves her jaded and mistrustful. Once such spotlight is of Lenae McIntyre and her guide dog training facility, which could definitely use the infusion of donations that Cara’s program usually brings. Cara Bradley is the on air talent for a little show on public access television that spotlights people and organizations doing charitable works, or helping out others. Blindsided by Karis Walsh is a great place to start if you’ve never read a book by her before.
