|
This little book presents the quest of a mother who is also a professional social worker and a student of family systems to use her hard-won knowledge to relate more authentically to her gay son in the early days of what became the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The book presents this mother-son relationship as recorded at the time in her personal journals as well as letters exchanged between them over a ten-year period. It addresses issues of family, homosexuality, religion, human connectedness, love, disease, death and gratitude for life as it is.
