Summer has moved into the home with her brother Todd and his partner Jacob in order to help Todd through the final stages of AIDS. Despite the horrible moments and his sickness, Summer finds strength in helping Todd.This book takes a look at a very serious topic and makes it real. It describes all of the tragedy of a terminal illness as well as the strength of the people surrounding Todd. It also addresses the prejudices against gays and those with AIDS. The characters are so believable that at times I had to remind myself I was reading a fiction novel. I would highly recommend this book to others.
