With impassioned words from her speeches punctuated by intimate photographs, Mary Fisher offers a strategy for dealing with the AIDS epidemic: strong leadership in fighting ignorance and fear, and a public-private partnership to fund a cure. A mother of two healthy young children, she talks about the importance of family support for people with HIV/AIDS, and the future that today’s children will face unless the disease is stopped. With Fisher's voice and passion coming through on every page, this moving book delivers a much-needed message about the AIDS epidemic and what people can do to help. "Mary Fisher's journey of hope and compassion has opened door, hearts, and minds and brought a new understanding to overcome ignorance and fear of AIDS. These eloquent words and Mary Fisher's healing message are a powerful demonstration that a courageous individual can still make a difference in our society -- and what a difference she has made."~ the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy
