Description: As a child Alexandra (Alex) Graham never contracted the typical childhood illnesses. She had always been the epitome of health, but that suddenly changed and changed dramatically.  One early fall day Alex came home from the mall complaining of pain in her knee. Three months later, at the age of 16, she was diagnosed with bone cancer.  In just over a year, Alex lost her life to the illness, but because of her courageous battle and because of a selfless wish the world of those she loved and thousands of others would never be the same.   In an easy to read format reminiscent of the popular “Chicken Soup” series, "When One Door Closes" describes constructive ways to deal with adversity and loss. Through Alex’s story and inspirational quotes, readers discover ways to confront adversity, avoid needless guilt, live life with meaning, and bring comfort and inspiration to others.
