Critical Praise

"A remarkable story of resilience and heart, NOT FADE AWAY follows Rebecca Alexander as she must navigate the world cursed with a rare genetic disorder that will one day rob her of both sight and hearing. Bereft of self-pity, funny, and bursting with honesty, NOT FADE AWAY will get its hooks in you. I promise that by the end of her story, you will fall just as in love with Rebecca as I have."

—Susannah Cahalan, New York Times bestselling author of BRAIN ON FIRE

"Her eyes and ears may be declining, but Rebecca's sense of self is sharply focused and profoundly tuned. By sharing her life, she has enriched mine and will yours, too. I love this woman."

—Meredith Vieira

"There is a saying that goes: You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Rebecca Alexander's indomitable spirit spills out on to the pages of this incredible memoir. She will lift you up...the way she did for me."

—Hoda Kotb, New York Times bestselling author of TEN YEARS LATER and HODA, and Emmy-award-winning anchor of the Today show
