Light Sensitive by Jim Geoghan is a touching romantic comedy about Tom, a bitter blind ex-cabbie, whose world changes when Edna, a spirited volunteer who comes to read to him, enters his life. With the help of his brash friend Lou, the unlikely trio discovers humor, healing, and the power of unexpected love.
