Alex The Life Of A Child Biography Paperback Book by Frank DeFord 1983

Alexandra Deford, a precious and precocious girl, was just eight years old when she died in 1980 following a battle against the debilitating effects of cystic fibrosis, the number-one genetic killer of children.

 Her poignant and uplifting story touched the hearts of millions when it was first published and then made into a memorable television movie. 

A new introduction contains information on the latest cystic fibrosis research, and a touching postscript reveals how the Deford family came to terms with the loss of Alex.
