‘28 stories of AIDS in Africa’ by Stephanie Nolen

This is such a heart wrentching yet eye-opening, and educational book.

Stephanie Nolen, a journalist for the Globe and Mail, has in simple yet poweful words described the vastness of the AIDS/HIV epidemic which is rapidly killing off hundreds of thousands of people in the African continent. She has written stories about 28 people whom are living with AIDS in Africa, one each to represent the 28 million people living with AIDS in Africa today.

The immediate thoughts that come to mind when reading this book are: Courage, hope, and a sincere motivation to become personally involved in helping however one can.

A must read!
