Synopsis
She is Ana, and this is her story. It begins the day she is born infected with HIV, transmitted from her young mother. Now she barely remembers her mama, who died when Ana was only three. From then on, Ana's childhood becomes a blur of faint memories and secrets--secrets about her illness and about the abuse she endures. Ana's journey is a long one. Shuffled from home to home, she rarely finds safety or love. And then she meets a boy. Berto is one of the only people Ana trusts with all her secrets. That trust puts Ana on a path to breaking the silence that has harmed her and leads her to new beginnings, new sorrows, and new hope.

You hear the statistics all of the time, about how many children are living with disease, poverty, and abuse all around the world. But until reading this book, I was sad about the statistics, but I never really saw the problem through the eyes of a child that was actually living like this. Everyone should read this book, because too often, we get caught up in our own lives, and we forget about those that are less fortunate. I also liked this book, because many books tell these sad stories, but they don't offer ways you can help or solutions. I think this book should inspire people to turn this story they read in to positive action.
