<p>Chanda’s mother is not herself, her younger sister is acting out, and her best friend needs help. A powerful story set amid the African HIV/AIDS pandemic.</p> <p>In this sensitive, swiftly paced story, readers will find echoes of <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> as Chanda, a 16-year-old, astonishingly perceptive girl living in the small city of Bonang in Africa, must confront the undercurrents of shame and stigma associated with HIV/AIDS.</p> <p>Through his artful style and dramatic storytelling, Allan Stratton captures the enduring strength of loyalty, the profound impact of loss, and a fearlessness that is powered by the heart. Above all, it is a story about living with truth.</p> <p>Proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to support organizations working to better the lives of Africans living with HIV/AIDS.</p>
