A teenage author has conquered the literary frontiers of Russia, and now he's coming to America. Mikhail Samarsky's hot-selling book, “A Rainbow for a Friend,” explores the wilds of a great city--and beyond--from a unique perspective. In this story the hero isn't a soldier, but he's brave and steady. He isn't a detective, but he's endlessly inquisitive. He isn't a saint, but he has the ability to accept and transcend human failings. The hero, you see, isn't human. He's Trisong, a guide dog for the blind. To Trisong . . . or "Trisha," as his young fosterling Sasha calls him . . . the mission is to lead a newly blind boy through the ins and outs of daily life in Moscow. That sounds easy enough for a highly trained Labrador retriever. Ah, but things change with a kidnapping, a "vacation" with well-meaning but uninformed strangers, a jailing by the police, run-ins with troublemakers and street dogs, and even a rescue of his own. Through it all, two things keep Trisong steadily on the path forward: the curiously hilarious wisdom of old Ivan, his previous fosterling; and young Sasha's wish for a sign of hope in this world. Can Trisong make it through the craziness of his human environment and bring Sasha what he wants most? “A Rainbow for a Friend” will have you laughing, crying, thinking and shouting victory. It's a story for everyone who believes life is inherently good, despite its twists and turns. Read Mikhail Samarsky's “A Rainbow for a Friend,” and see the world through new eyes.
