Customer Reviews

Amazing book, amazing woman.

This book is amazing. I've read Ryan's book as well, and that book is an amazing story of courage and determination. Ryan was an amazing human being and lived a wonderful life in the short time he had here, and was a much better person than most people can hope to be. He was so selfless in all that he did, and it shows by how he helped to shed light on AIDS when it was kept in the shadows by the public. Jeanne's book shows her love for Ryan, and her determination to continue Ryan's legacy by educating people all over about AIDS. It is emotional and deeply personal, but is wonderfully honest and one of the best books I've ever read. I definitely recommend it.

Its a good book

its a really good book it made my cry but I liked it alot.

A great book, very emotional.

This book is a great story of a mothers dedication to her son and daughter. The story is about Ryan White's devoted mother and how she helps him in the battle against AIDS. She has so much courage; how she delt with her son dieing, and her divorces. A very touching story.

Weeding Out The Tears Brought Me Tears... and Smiles

God Bless Jeanne White for writing this book! If you have *never* lost a loved one to AIDS, this is *still* a must read! Ms. White writes not only of living with and dying of AIDS. She writes of the loss of a child, the loss of a loved one, and all the emotions that come forth from this -- faith, fear, anger, confusion, hope, sorrow... this book is a true human experience. If you have lost someone close to you, you must read this book. Jeanne's book brought me tears and smiles... and comfort... and hope. Jeanne, thank you for sharing Ryan's story, but more importantly, thank you for sharing your own story. It is the caregiver who is often the most devastaed after a loss. Thank you for allowing others to experience what we go through
