"Tina A. Brown has written a powerful
book that clearly reveals the impact of poverty on the life of Linda
Jordan. She inspired people to seek divine guidance."
-- Gwendolyn Lewis, retired AIDS educator,
Connecticut Department of Public Health.
"What a wonderful job. It is written in
such a way, you
feel you are watching a "live" recording of Linda's life
as she
struggles, and deals honestly with childhood molestation,
rape, alcoholism, a lifelong struggle with addiction, and
then living and dying with HIV /AIDS."
-- Kathy Tummillo, veteran HIV/AIDS practitioner, Saint Francis
Care, Hartford , Connecticut
Veteran journalist Tina A. Brown elevates Jordan's
true-life tale above the narrow confines of a now wearying stream
of media headlines to give those who care a blueprint for action.
Firmly, lovingly, Tina also challenges those who mimic Jordan's self-sabotaging
ways to help move themselves out of the line of fire.
