Adventures in Darkness
Memoirs of an Eleven-Year-Old Blind Boy [Hardcover]
by Tom Sullivan

Blind since birth, author, well-known entertainer and friend of the Center Tom Sullivan recounts with wicked wit and captivating clarity the hair-raising adventures of his eleventh year in 1950’s New England…escaping from his blind school, relief pitching in the neighborhood league, and boxing in a backyard bout with the neighborhood bully.

Adventures in Darkness is a classic tale of boyhood adventure through a formative season, a summer of hilarity and heart, tears and triumph. Armed with a daring dream, and the fearlessness and mischief of youth, Tom refused to settle for the conventional confines of his blindness, and set in motion a chain of events that dynamically changed his life forever.
