I feel funny writing this review, as the book was published 6 years ago, is out of print, and I am a contributor. I'm just very sad the book did not receive more attention; it is a beautifully-compiled collection of pieces which represent the broadest range of human connections with people with AIDS. Reading it is akin to wandering through an exhibition of the Names Project quilt--one is overwhelmed by the diversity of sufferers and their loved ones, and especially by the personal details which define each and every one of the now-missing. I hope if anyone reads this you might get your hands on the book. Leslea Newman is to be commended for the fact that she managed to edit a book about the dead and infuse every page with LIFE.
