A book that will move you, challenge you and anger you

This is a book that should the bible for the puropose of life. In the era of AIDS this an account of living, gaining, loosing, figthing and learining to love. These pages share anguish of joy and pain and the scarsity of time. It will make you appriciate life and force you to acknowledge the privilages you hold to other people who suffer. It will anger you to know the propoganda of this government and force you to rebell against the system that oppresses you. This book will open your eyes, to the blindness of the life you hold for yourself. Ultimetly this book will teach that the espausment of one of the grander declerations "all men are created equal" will oneday live up to its promise with one change; all people period.

Astounding, moving and courageous

Not only is this an incredibly moving account of a brave couple's struggle with AIDS, it is a testament to the courage needed to face society's hostility towards those suffering with the disease.

I found myself rereading paragraphs again and again; the last chapter would wring tears from a stone. Tragic, beautiful, a monument to love.
