Not a very thinly veilled message about AIDS, this book was written in 1988, when AIDS was mostly a "Gay problem" but it deals with a farmer who finds unicorns on her ranch, and they're dying. At about that time, she takes in a man dying of AIDS, and they work together to save the unicorns before the guy dies.
Decent characters, just a little too preachy for me. There's a lot of indian mysticism, too. This is not a book for kids, although only the language gets raunchy. Themes are a little too adult for young teens.
