Beyond Time and Distance Carmen Melnyk

Addie desperately wants to do something with her life, but living with her despotic father, she feels that she is slowly losing herself, becoming more and more resentful and bitter. Her life suddenly takes an unexpected turn when she meets a big white dog with deep blue eyes while clearing the snow off their front walks. Unbeknownst to her, the next day brings even more surprises. Walking through the mall with her friend, Addie misses a small step and lands on her knees. A handsome tall man assists her to her feet-he has deep blue eyes! A week later, she goes skating after her father literally kicks her out of the house for the day, as someone is coming over and he doesn't want her around. A little girl, sitting on the ice, is crying her eyes out. It's obvious she can't skate when Addie assists her to a nearby bench, and when the little girl finally looks at her, the shock leaves her pale and dizzy. More deep blue eyes!
