More than twelve years later, Hydeia is not only still here, but she is also an internationally recognized AIDS activist and, even more remarkably, a typical teenager. She is among the first generation of children with AIDS for whom science has changed the odds—the first generation for which adulthood is a possibility and not just a dream.

Writes Patricia Broadbent: “It would be easy to tell our story in clichés about miracles and hope, tragedy and the ‘innocent’ victims of the epidemic. I know, too, how easy it is to view Hydeia, myself, and our family as somehow ‘special.’ The truth is, however, we are a family just like any other. I am no stronger or braver than any other mother who loves her child.”

You Get Past the Tears is the story of a disease for which there is still no cure. But this is also the story of a family living with AIDS, a mother who did everything in her power to defy that first hopeless prognosis, and a young woman who continues to inspire millions with her courage and determination.

“I want to show everyone that the struggle is worth it, that life is for living,” writes Hydeia. “AIDS can change a lot of things about your life, but it can’t change the person you are inside. You deserve happiness, love, and respect. Don’t ever forget that, and don’t let anyone try to tell you different. This is still your world, too.”]]> 725365 1 711583 9 4 2002 You Get Past the Tears: A Memoir of Love and Survival total:3|4:2|3:1| 3 11 4 0 385774 3.67 3 0 2322 3.93 321 59 64837266 671460 725365 0679463143 9780679463146 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177685627m/725365.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/725365.You_Get_Past_the_Tears_A_Memoir_of_Love_and_Survival 3.67 3
