She is 17. She has been abused. She has a child. She is HIV positive. Her name was Ana and this is her story. The day she was born she was infected with HIV which was transferred from her 16 year old mother. She barely remembers her mother who died when Ana was only three. From there on her childhood was a blur of secrets and very faint memories. She had to keep secrets about her illness and her abuse. She tried hard to forget. Ana has been from home to home not finding love and safety. When she meets a boy Berto, she found both. She opens up her heart and mind to Berto. She has hope and a new beginning.
I loved this book. It could happen to anyone around us. It kills me inside that people go through this daily. Some people don’t have the guts to say something and stay in that abuse. At least Ana has a happy ending.
