Summary:
"Born with a rare genetic mutation, Rebecca Alexander has been losing her sight and hearing since childhood, and was told the loss would likely be complete by age 30. Then, at 18, a fall from a window left her body shattered. None of us knows how we would face such devastation. What Rebecca did was rise to every challenge. Now 35, with a sliver of sight and significantly deteriorated hearing, she is a psychotherapist and an extreme athlete with boundless energy, innate curiosity, and a profound gratitude for everything she still has"--Back cover.
