I had completely forgotten about this book until I was reading reviews of another book with a similar title....I read this almost 20 years ago, after the death of a very dear friend of mine who died of AIDS. I cried through the whole thing of course as it was like watching David's life slowly slipping away all over again. Beautifully written. Heartwrenching, yet tender.

The love that this woman has for her son was just amazing.I recently lost my Mother to lung cancer and i used this book of Barbra Peabody for strength as i was my mothers primary care giver. i don't think i could have done this for my mother without her and her family so i say thank you very much Barbara.

Excellent book giving incredible insight into a young man's struggle with AIDS before any effective treatment was available. It is a compilation of his mother's journal entries, so it is an emotional read, as to be expected.

Gutwrenching and incredibly moving, this was the first book written by a caregiver to a person living with AIDS.
