28 Stories of Aids in Africa

GRAB yourself a copy of this MUST READ book. Stephanie Nolen out-did herself in delving into the hearts of the characters and capturing the essence of a life lived by those afflicted/affected by this disease. I morphed into a child in the night, after lights out, under the covers devouring every page of this superbly written book. The stories are not only amazing, but one can relate to the lives in an almost tangible way. The author did a marvelous job in capturing each individual life and making the reader want to reach into the depths of the pages and hug the characters.


Ok, maybe I’m simply excited about the hope for HIV/AIDS in Africa. I now believe that this is the calling I’ve been running away from. I’ve been passionate about HIV/AIDS for as long as I can remember. My heart especially goes out to the orphans who unbeknown to them, have been thrown into unfathomable lives. The courage with which they continue to survive above the odds is awesome and inspiring. I pray that I can garner courage to begin to work in this arena….I owe it to my being to allow myself to put my capabilities at work, for the good of mankind, so help me God!
