Publisher Description
A heart-stirring novel from author Tom Sullivan plunges readers into the depths of a blind man's world as it comes tumbling down with the diagnosis of his young son's cancer. Brian O'Connor is a successful lawyer, loving husband, and devoted father. He also happens to be blind. Driven his entire life to be independent, Brian has achieved much, but he has been so busy proving his triumph over blindness that he hasn't stopped to consider how his carefully crafted life can all come crashing down in an instant. When his young son is diagnosed with cancer, the long ensuing battle brings Brian to his knees as he comes to terms with his own limitations and his need for faith.
A Short Life Well Lived 's uniqueness lies in the fact that this story of a blind man has an author who is blind himself. Tom Sullivan is able to truly take readers into the protagonist's world, showing how being sightless has not held him-or his character-back from moving through the seeing world with amazing strength and skill.
