Lost in the Stacks: Alex: The Life of a Child A bereaved father's tender portrait of his daughter, Alex. Famed sports writer Frank Deford lost his daughter Alexandra to cystic fibrosis when she was only eight years old. In Alex: The Life of a Child Deford describes how the disease ravishes his beautiful, lively, loving daughter and the family's struggle to cope with this devastating illness. "When a child has cystic fibrosis," Deford writes, "she never simply lives. She must be kept alive." Despite the grimness of the subject, this is really a beautiful book about a charming, spirited child whose brief life enriched many others. Kleenex recommended.   http://www.tscpl.org/books/comments/lost_in_the_stacks_alex_the_life_of_a_child/
