Rescued by Hope: The Story of Speranza Animal Rescue - Paperback

At eighteen years old Janine Guido was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and severe clinical depression. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, one doctor said he didn't know what else to do and all but gave up on her.

So, she started rescuing animals to give her the motivation to keep going. These animals have more or less saved her life so she's paying it forward and now saving theirs.

This is Janine's story.

It's also Speranza's story.

*Rescued by Hope is a real-life view of what it's like to wrestle with mental illness. Raw, transparent, a vulnerable, Janine's accounts of her battles are eye-opening and heart-wrenching. But behind every dark cloud, the sun shines. And Janine found a way to push back those clouds. Her story is also the story of how Speranza Animal Rescue was born out of a desperate hope to find some meaning and purpose in life.

Janine's story also gives a real-life view of what it's like to run a large animal rescue. The joy and victories and the defeats and sad endings.

Rescued by Hope is a book about triumph and victory over the obstacles we face, the battles we fight, and the rocky roads that must be traveled.
