In 1959, George Triffon, a young man with 20/20 vision and a promising future, was driving home from church when a car hit him from behind. It was just an ordinary car accident, and he was even able to drive himself home. A few weeks later, he noticed some small, dark spots in his vision, and that was the beginning of a long, devastating journey as he began to slowly lose his eyesight. He would spend the next several years traveling to different eye specialists and hospitals around the US, where he was subjected to a handful of painful ineffective procedures. George was just beginning his career and had just started a family when his world was turned upside down by a string of events that left him completely blind at the age of 31. He was faced with the challenge of learning how to do everything again, but this time without the gift of sight, which so many of us take for granted. He wrote Threshold to Darkness in an effort to remember every detail of this pivotal time in his life, which not only changed his life, but also the lives of everyone around him.
