Darkness to Sunlight (Autographed)

They say you "can't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes." When you start with a boy's size 6 and end up in a man's 16 shoe, you better be prepared for an extraordinary trip. The journey of Zaid Abdul-Aziz (formerly Don Smith) begins in Brooklyn, moves through America’s heartland, and rises into collegiate and NBA fame. But this isn't just a basketball story — it's the life of a man who overcame deep personal, racial, professional, and spiritual trials.

This edition comes personally signed by Zaid Abdul-Aziz.

Darkness to Sunlight invites you to walk that long road alongside an extraordinary athlete and inspiring human being.

"Zaid Abdul-Aziz nightly used to post up and crash the boards, holding his own in a ruggedly violent world also known as the NBA paint. However, in retracing his steps through his Brooklyn upbringing, his collegiate days in Iowa, his various pro basketball stops and a life beyond, he's become a finesse player. His surprisingly soft touch while explaining himself in Darkness to Sunlight is All-Pro stuff, a must-read for basketball fans and nonfans alike."
