Betty White Pens Book With Longtime Friend, Former Soap Star Tom Sullivan

Betty White has been eager to talk about her latest project, another book she has co-authored with her long time friend, actor, speaker, singer and author, Tom Sullivan. Sullivan is known to daytime soap fans for his role as Michael Kendall on SEARCH FOR TOMORROW. He was awarded the 1984 Governors Committee Award for his role.

Due out in June, "Together," is said to be a remarkable story of a young man who loses his sight in a mountain climbing accident and a black Labrador Retriever, Nelson, who struggles to find his place as a working guide dog. In the course of these pages, White and Sullivan provide the reader with insights into an astounding relationship between a blind man and his guide dog, whose essence is found in the deep bonding of love and trust. Readers learn how the dog thinks and interprets the needs of his blind master, and how the master grows in his awareness of the signals being sent by this remarkable animal. You come to love characters Brenden McCarthy and Nelson almost as much as they learn to love each other.

“If it wasn’t for Betty and Allen, I wouldn’t even be in this business,” Sullivan said in an interview with Patch.com. “Betty is truly someone special, who I think, should be honored with a Kennedy Center Honors. She has been involved in TV since the absolute beginning of TV and the fact that she had the first prime time NBC series is mind-boggling. It has never been more than six months since 1960 that she hasn’t been in a series.”
