by Jenna Bush
This compelling, emotional narrative chronicles the difficult life of Ana, a young Latin American woman who author, Jenna Bush, befriends in her travels. Ana was born with HIV and loses her parents to the disease. She suffers abuse at the hands of her relatives and struggles to keep her affliction a secret. Eventually, her life improves when she moves into a "caring center" for those living with HIV. She falls in love, becomes pregnant, and gives birth to a healthy baby. There are additional resources at the end of the book as well as discussion questions. This book should be well recieved even by reluctant readers and should make for a lively discussion. Very easy.
