The inspiring memoir of a young woman who is slowly losing her sight and hearing yet continues to live each day with grace and purpose.

Thirty-four-year-old Rebecca Alexander is a psychotherapist, a spin instructor, a volunteer, and an athlete. She is also almost completely blind, with significantly deteriorated hearing. Not Fade Away is a deeply moving exploration of the obstacles we all facephysical, psychological, and philosophical. Rebecca's story is an exquisite reminder to live each day to its fullest.

In college, she found out that due to a rare genetic disorderUsher Syndrome Type IIIshe was losing her hearing as well. Since then, she has earned two Master's degrees from Columbia University, ridden a six-hundred-mile bike race, hiked the Inca Trail, and established a thriving careerall while maintaining a vibrant social life.
