SynopsisA challenging and emotional inspirational memoir of terminal illness, prejudice, and living with HIV/AIDS. NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Heartbreaking... A powerful tale."-- New York Times Book Review In 1984, when Ryan White received an AIDS diagnosis after receiving a contaminated blood treatment for his hemophilia, he was given six months to live. And although doctors said he posed no risk to other students, concerned parents and teachers who didn't understand the disease protested his re-admittance to school. This diagnosis rocked Ryan and his family, but his fight for acceptance and understanding in the face of discrimination have given Ryan a place in history as a voice of strength, courage, and compassion amidst the AIDS epidemic.

Photographs., A touching tale of a courageous young man, his battle against fear and hatred, and his fight to educate the public about AIDS.
