In December 1993, John Dally flew from New York to London to be admitted to the hospital suffering from pneumonia. It is an illness that signals the beginning of a grueling journey to his death from AIDS. For John's siblings, it will be the death of another brother; for his physician parents, the death of another son in his mid-forties. In this moving account of John's last month, his sister Emma describes the impact that AIDS has on her, his friends, and his family. Endearingly honest, it is a tribute to loving sisterhood as much as to a young man struck down in his prime.
