Description: Born with a rare genetic mutation, Rebecca Alexander has been losing her sight and hearing since childhood, a loss she was told would 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. Rebecca's extraordinary story is by turns harrowing, funny, and inspiring -- and an exquisite reminder to live each day to its fullest.
