About this title

Review:

Wooten has pulled off something close to miraculous... and touched the face of HIV/AIDS with compassion and humanity. (Alexandra Fuller, "Chicago Tribune") This is a book not to be missed. ("People ") Amazing and tender... in this special book [Wooten] brings home the tragedy of AIDS. (Liz Smith, "New York Post") Wooten rightly disregards journalistic distance and writes himself into the work, making it read like a contemplative literary memoir. ("Time Out New York")
