Description
This is the true story of an indomitable spirit afflicted with unimaginable physical and psychological challenges. Paul Alexander's life has been profoundly shaped by the Polio epidemic of the early 1950s, a disease that continues to affect people today.
Survivors of the 1950s Polio Epidemic in America are rare, and those who require the assistance of an "Iron Lung" respirator for their life's breath are even more so. Paul Alexander's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
This book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and an affirmation of the need to continue efforts to eradicate Polio from the planet.
