Not Fade Away

Even a darkening world can be brilliantly lit from within. Born with a rare genetic mutation called Usher Syndrome type III, Rebecca Alexander has been simultaneously losing both her sight and hearing since she was a child, and was told that she would likely be completely blind and deaf by age 30.

Defeating all the odds against her, Rebecca becomes a highly successful psychologist and fitness group instructor. This memoir I most definitely related with Rebecca as I struggled a lot with my hearing loss and how it impacts me emotionally and mentally. I most definitely recommend this book! There are themes of disordered eating and other mentions of mental health themes.
