Through a series of thoughfully written notes to her children, an African-American mother tells the story of how she learned that she was HIV-positive and what that would eventually mean to her children, her marriage, her spiritual development, and her life's work.

By refusing to be a victim, Catherine Morley presents a story of how life goes on even after being diagnosed with HIV and all the debilitating physical, psychological, and social agonies associated with it. Morley's story is one of love, faith, and hope under the most adverse of circumstances. It separates the most recent research based facts from HIV/AIDS fiction and provides the reader with a glimpse into a world that we must all learn to understand.

AIDS presents all the peoples of this world with a truly international challenge and while this is an African-American story about how one exceptional individual is dealing with this disease, what Catherine Morley has to say will provide information, guidance, and support to millions of people throughout the world who are either suffering with AIDS or providing care and love for others who are living with this disease.

"This book should be in every school library. I found it to be very educational and full of information needed by teenagers today as well as adults. It is an eye-opening study showing how little the effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on children has been taken into consideration and awakening us to the way we prejudge and make assumptions about those who are HIV positive."
