One woman's compassion during the AIDS crisis

Good Condition - with light cover scuffs, minor edge rubbing and curled corners.Lower page edges are slightly rippled.A folded opening-page corner and a few small spots are visible.

A hospital encounter in 1986 changes Ruth Coker Burks's life when she comforts a dying young man whom others have left alone. What begins as an act of kindness draws the young mother into the lives of men living with AIDS, many rejected by their families and their community. She helps them find housing and work, offers companionship, and ensures that those who die are remembered with dignity. Written with Kevin Carr O'Leary, this memoir follows her growing role as an advocate amid fear, hostility and profound loss. The friendships she forms remain central to the story, making All the Young Men both a record of grassroots care during a devastating epidemic and a tribute to the people whose lives it honours.
