After experiencing the wrenching deaths of several friends from AIDS, Wendy Arnold decided she had to do something. She first became aware of the disease when a neighbor was infected, and she literally watched him die in a hospital. She later saw other friends die, and finally stopped counting her dead when their number reached two hundred. She eventually created an organization for AIDS education and took her message around the world currently focusing on African countries. This is a very personal and very emotional account, told in the first person, allowing the reader to participate in the anguish and determination of a woman who has been driven to help stop the carnage of AIDS. If a reader wishess to experience what it is like to be in the trenches with an extraordinary woman fighting AIDS and dealing with both death and the triumph of the human spirit, this is the book to read.
