Alexandra Deford, a precious and precocious girl, was just eight years oldwhen she died in 1980 following a battle against the debilitating effects ofcystic fibrosis, the number-one genetic killer of children. Her poignant anduplifting story touched the hearts of millions when it was first published andthen made into a memorable television movie. A new introduction containsinformation on the latest cystic fibrosis research, and a touching postcriptreveals how the Deford family came to terms with the loss of Alex.
Whenever he speaks, sportswriter Frank Deford knows people will bringarticles for him to sign. But what makes him happiest is when someone attends asports-oriented lecture and brings a copy ofAlex: The Life of a Child forhim to sign. "Invariably, and happily, there's usually someone at eachappearance who either brings that book or wants to talk about their connectionto cystic fibrosis." Deford says. "It's tremendously gratifying to me.Rarely does a week go by that I don't get a letter about that book. People leavethings at her grave. They really do. I have people tell me that she changedtheir lives. It's terribly dramatic, but they literally say that. I heard from awoman who became a pediatric nurse after reading the book. Hearing from peoplelike that means more to me than anything."
