Hello Darkness, My Old Friend: How Daring Dreams and Unyielding Friendship Turned One Man`s Blindness Into an Extraordinary Vision for Life, Greenberg Sanford D.

Its a bitterly cold February in 1961, and Sandy Greenberg lies in a hospital bed in Detroit, newly blind. A junior at Columbia University from a Jewish family that struggled to stay above the poverty line, Sandy had just started to see the world open up to him. Now, instead of his plans for a bright future--Harvard Law and politics--Sandy faces a new reality, one defined by a cane or companion dog, menial work, and a cautious path through life.

But thats not how this story ends.

In the depth of his new darkness, Sandy faces a choice--play it safe by staying in his native Buffalo or return to Columbia to pursue his dreams. With the loving devotion of his girlfriend (and now wife) Sue and the selflessness of best friends Art Garfunkel and Jerry Speyer, Sandy endures unimaginable adversity while forging a life of exceptional achievement.
