A Blessed Life Updated: Autobiography of a Traveler to Emmaus

By Linda Anne Monica Schneider

For once, Linda Anne Monica Schneider now is writing strictly about what she does know: her life and its circumstances. She tells the story of what it has been like for a middle-class American descended from Italian and German immigrants. It is the story of a girl who grew up and found her law vocation during the 50’s through 70’s and who happens to be blind and hard of hearing. During her life, she has used a series of wonderful guide dogs as traveling companions. Like the two discouraged, disillusioned pilgrims who fled from Jerusalem after the death and still disbelieved resurrection of Jesus, she is still in the lifelong process of finding the Lord. This book updates and supersedes the earlier version published in 2012 under a slightly different title.

Linda Anne Monica Schneider

Linda Anne Monica Schneider, one of the natives, was born in Washington, D.C. and is a lifelong resident of Arlington, Virginia. Here she tells the story of a middle-class American girl descended from Italian and German immigrants who grew up and found her law vocation during the 50’s through 70’s and who happens to be blind and hard of hearing. After graduating from Trinity College (part of Trinity University, Michigan Avenue, Washington, D.C.) with a B.A. in English literature in 1974, she received her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1977. She worked at the SEC as an attorney until she retired in September, 2014. She has used a series of wonderful guide dogs as traveling companions. MS Schneider lives in either a one or two-dog household depending on whether she has a retired guide dog. Like the two discouraged, disillusioned pilgrims who fled from Jerusalem after the death and still disbelieved resurrection of Jesus, she is still in the lifelong process of finding the Lord. This updated edition tells the rest of her story and supersedes the earlier version published nine years ago in 2012. Her present working Seeing Eye dog is a black Labrador retriever/golden retriever cross, named Ives, pictured on the back cover.
