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 - a feature/entertainment reporter for the ABC network's 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.
