Princess Patty

Lee Thomas is very honest with his struggles of living with vitiligo and how he overcame some difficult times and kept moving forward in his career and his life. I have heard him speak and his words are enlightening and encouraging, and, so are his words so brilliantly written in his book. He is delightful!

Heartwarming

This book is very well written and definitely from the heart. Mr. Thomas is an inspiration and his story is uplifting and full of hope for anyone struggling with Vitiligo. How wonderful of him to have brought this disease to the forefront to help foster understanding.

Only if..........

Only if we as people of this world can think like Lee Thomas, "Just Live!". The last paragraph of the book says it all; "We need each other to survive. I will never give up on loving life or sharing it with people." This book is very thought provoking, honest and informative.

very powerful book on Vitiligo

Lee Thomas has came with a Book that touches on a serious subject about losing pigmentation of the skin called Vitiligo. i saw this diesase first hand as a kid when a neighbor of my grandparents had it and it cuts in various areas of the skin and is very serious. Michael Jackson suffers from this skin condition and it leaves your skin patchy. Lee Thomas breaks it all down from how he discovered he had the condition and also the pictures showcase where it impacts the skin in various places. a must read and this book is very detail.

Turning White: An unforgettable MUST READ Memoir!

This book is amazing. Thomas' account of his struggles with Vitiligo is powerfully poignant. Once you pick up this book you will find that you will not be able to put it down. Thomas' storytelling is brilliantly simple, artful. With remarkable honesty, he opens up his heart and soul in this book. You find yourself experiencing the raw emotions on the pages: fear, sadness, heartbreak, love, triumph, joy. The images of Thomas documenting his progressive pigment loss are compelling and beautiful. While Turning White teaches us about the disease vitiligo, it also serves as a lesson plan for living your best life in spite of your challenges, and that true beauty is way beyond skin deep. Thomas says he decided to share his story because a little boy with vitiligo asked him to do so. Anyone who reads this book owes a debt of gratitude to that child. You will be better for having read this memoir. You will be uplifted and inspired.
