She's seventeen.
She's been abused.
She has a child.

And she's HIV-positive.

She is Ana, and this is her story. It begins the day she is born infected with HIV, transmitted from her young mother. Now she barely remembers her mama, who died when Ana was only three. From then on, Ana's childhood becomes a blur of faint memories and secrets--secrets about her illness and about the abuse she endures.

Ana's journey is a long one. Shuffled from home to home, she rarely finds safety or love. And then she meets a boy. Berto is one of the only people Ana trusts with her secrets. That trust puts Ana on a path to breaking the silence that has harmed her and leads her to new beginnings, new sorrows, and new hope.

Jenna Bush has written a powerful narrative nonfiction account of a girl who struggles to break free from a vicious cycle of abuse, poverty, and illness. Based on Jenna's work with UNICEF and inspired by the framework of one girl's life, it is also the story of many children around the world who are marginalized and excluded from basic care, support, and education.

I've read about 80 pages so far... so far it's good... besides it being nonfiction and a story of inspiration, I love the fact that the book is printed in color and has images spread out thru the pages... rarely is a book ever printed in color (cause its so expensive)... it's quite an easy read... I still have about 2/3 to read... also I thought the design of the cover is quite eye-catching...

SMILE!!

I like to be optimistic... sometimes I am a little negative, but that just happens... I would say it is part of life... =)

This is what I truly believe:
"You only meet your once-in-a-lifetime friend ... once in a lifetime" ~Little Rascals

Have you found your once-in-a-lifetime friend? be sure to not lose that friend. My once-in-a-lifetime friend is my mom. She's totally awesome because she's more like a sister/friend to me. We are really close and I love her so much!!
