Review
“Mr. Skerritt’s book is both poignant and beautiful, even as the subject is tragic. His writing evokes an immediate and powerful reaction from the reader. . . . It is a must read for anyone concerned with HIV/AIDS or social justice.” Paul Kawata, Executive Director, National Minority AIDS Council “A compassionate and beautifully written account of the arrival and devastation caused by AIDS in the poor, rural South. [. . .] This is a history worth telling, a story deftly crafted by an excellent journalist.” Patrice Gaines , author of Laughing in the Dark, former reporter for the Washington Post"A powerful debutThe author makes a strong case that the shame is not with the dying but with those who turn away from the reality of this epidemic."
