Non-Fiction Memoir
In his thought-provoking memoir, Turning White, Emmy
Award-winning TV broadcaster Lee Thomas shares the physical
and mental battle he is waging with vitiligo a skin disorder
that is literally turning him white. At age 25, Thomas had a dream job in a dream city as a
feature/entertainment reporter for the ABC networks flagship
TV station in New York. Then he discovered a few white spots
on his scalp, the small beginnings of a disease that has
spread to half his face -- a fact he covers with makeup when
on camera. As someone in the very public eye, vitiligo has transformed
not only Thomas' color, but his life. "Even people who have
known me for years avoid eye contact when they see my face
without makeup for the first time," he writes. Recently, Thomas turned the spotlight on himself during a
special report for WJBK FOX 2 Detroit, where he is currently
an entertainment reporter. In Turning White, Thomas shares his journey to help people
understand vitiligo, and to help others cope with the
psychological war that comes from this life-changing disease.
