Synopsis

A Matter of Faith

Normal life turned upside-down for educator, wife, and mother Joan Patterson once she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. When she found herself relegated to a wheelchair, her faith in a loving, caring God faltered along with her confidence that she could continue being a viable asset to society. Enter a service dog named Faith who not only restored Joan’s independence but strengthened her walk with God by exemplifying the intimacy and interdependence we can have with our heavenly Father.


In this unique memoir, Joan Patterson chronicles her experiences as the human half of an extraordinary homosapien-canine partnership. Adventures ranging from quirky, hilarious, poignant, challenging, but never dull offer fresh perspective on how to survive life’s relentless crises and develop a closer relationship with God. Joan’s hope and prayer in introducing readers to her delightful, devoted canine partner is that each will walk away from these pages with renewed faith and a deeper understanding of a loving heavenly Father who is always there to help his children in time of need.
