Wonderful treatment of a sensitive topic!

"One Hand in My Pocket" is an anthology that deals with the ever-alarming HIV crisis. We are treated to three stories of different individuals from different walks of life whose lives are all impacted by HIV. In Davis's "Decisions" we see a woman recovering from the ravages of a bad marriage and a worse divorce. Just as she's willing to rebuild her life and take a chance on love again, she finds out that the wonderful new man in her life is battling HIV. We see her struggle with deciding whether she should move forward with him or cut her loses and run. In "On the Way to the Altar" an engaged couple is stopped cold in progressing toward a wonderful future together when on of them is diagnosed with HIV. Though he loves he fiancé dearly Samuel doesn't know if he can deal with the reality of marrying a woman who is HIV positive. In the final story by Lee, "Second Time Around", we meet the Parkers. They finally have an empty nest after successfully raising three wonderful children. They've decided to help others by providing foster care for needy children. When one of their foster children is revealed to be HIV positive, his pending adoption is halted. The Parkers and their family must decide if they possess enough love to save this wonderful child from a life in the foster care system despite his uncertain future.
