Through a series of notes to her children, an African-American mother tells the story of how she learned she was HIV-positive and what that would eventually mean to her children, her marriage, her spiritual development and her work. Refusing to be a victim, Catherine Morley presents a story of how life goes on after AIDS and all the debilitating physical, psychological, and social pains that accompany this dreaded but often misunderstood disease. It separates HIV/AIDS fact from fiction and provides the reader with a glimpse into a world that we must all learn to understand.
