A Must for any one who cares about the pandemic we call HIV/AIDs - Whether stateside or abroad, this true story of courage and of hope is a tremendous tool for uplifting yourself, if like me you too are a person living with HIV/AIDs, or for those affected by it via a friend, family member or partner. This Ordinary Miracle shares the ups, the downs and the candid realities so often overlooked in today's often over simplified picture of what HIV/AIDs is all about. Venus is a HERO! We are most happy to recommend this book to any and all we encounter in our work at "James' House" - [...]

I am a physician in the HIV/AIDS field and I found this book to not only be informative but very inspiring. It relates to the stories I have heard from many of the HIV/AIDS woman I have come in contact with. This book emphasises prevention and the steps one must take to protect themselves. It is a must reading for all persons that have been newly diagnosed, and a must reading for everyone that may in their lifetime have unprotected sex or use IV drugs. Cudos to Venus for having the courage to write this book reveling her life story.

Venus' book makes this horrible crisis real to everybody. By telling her story first, she draws you in and allows you to realize this could have been you or somebody you know. You then view the rest of the book through her eyes. The facts become more real and more compelling. In her book, she is authentic and that makes all of the difference. Anyone can write a fact based book. But when those facts come from a 20 plus year survivor of HIV/AIDS, you are going to listen! Thank you for writing this Venus.
