About the Author

Rebecca Alexander, the best-selling author of “Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found,” is a psychotherapist, extreme athlete, and disability advocate. Born with a rare genetic disorder called Usher syndrome type III, Rebecca has been losing both her sight and hearing since she was a teenager. Despite these difficulties, Rebecca refuses to lose her drive and zest for life, rising above every challenge she’s faced, including climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. A role model for all ages, her memoir is in the early stages of being adapted into a film by Emily Blunt, Jon Krasinski, and Academy Award-nominated director and producer David O. Russell.
