Alex: The Life of a Child by Frank Deford

5.0

It's hard to say how many times I read this book when I was growing up, or how many times I watched the subsequent TV movie. What I do know is that there are moments that are burned into my memory, as if I had lived through them myself. Upon re-reading this now as an adult, it's easy to see why Alex's story made such an impression. It's tragic and heartbreaking, but it's also told skillfully by her loving - and talented - father Frank Deford. In my eyes, "Alex: The Life of a Child" is a modern classic.
