Inspirational and Life Altering Stories!!

I was brought to tears by many of the stories in this book. In addition to the power of the stories, the pictures capture the essence of the subjects and help us to remember that these people are really no different than the rest of us. River Huston is an amazing lady and I think she did an awesome job helping the reader relate to these women from all walks of life. I would definately recommend this book, it will forever change the way you view your own life!

This book puts a human face on HIV - very moving!

The portraits in this book brings HIV into focus in a way I have never seen before. The stories of these women call into question the assumption that the women who get HIV are very different from you and I. Every teenage woman who reads these short biographies will better understand that she too is at risk.
