This is the true story of an ordinary woman who developed an extraordinary condition, leading her to live an impossible life - a life without light, yet one that is illuminated in the most unexpected ways. It began with a burning sensation on her face when she was exposed to computer screens and fluorescent lighting. Then the burning spread and the problematic light sources proliferated. Now Anna Lyndsey's extreme sensitivity to light in all forms means she must spend much of her life in total darkness. Told with great beauty, humour and honesty, Girl in the Dark is the uplifting story of how light can be found in even the darkest of places.
