Friendships In The Dark: A Blind Woman's Story of the People and Pets Who Light Up Her World Phyllis Staton Campbell

They shaped my life" Campbell says of the people and animals who wove the tapestry of her life. This is the story of that tapestry, her family, and friends, who formed the bright thread of love. Mostly, however, it is about the animals from Mouser, who taught her about death and prayer, Buttons, who loved all, even if they did "act strangely", and so many more to Lear, the gallant dog who lived to be her eyes.




Follow her as she leaves home at the age of six, to attend the Virginia school for the blind, leaving family and animals. Laugh and cry with her, as the child becomes a woman, and marries the man she will love forever. Share her world, and perhaps you might see your own in a different light.
