This is the tragic yet beautiful true-life story of the Glaser family. It broke my heart and at the same time inspired me to live life to its fullest. Here is a woman who had everything and then lost more than most of us could bear. In time she pushed forward and overcame her deep grief in order to save her son as well as help other families and children suffering with AIDS. As I read this I was struck by how much has changed since the beginning of this horrible epidemic--we're more informed and educated and hopefully we're getting closer to a cure.

A beautiful story that will break your heart and make you want to go out and change the world.
