The Answer to AIDS - from St. Louis...

About the Book

Deborah Latchison states that if she's learned anything at all during her two-year quest to bring awareness to HIV/AIDS within her St. Louis community, it is that the subject is not a popular one — neither the disease itself, nor the 'Acquired Immune DeficiencieS' that she feels bred the disease: the AIDS of Family, Church, Politics and Society.

More determined than ever to bring awareness and responsiveness, however, Ms. Latchison writes of the politics involved, the sheer indifference and perceived resignation towards the disease. From the church to the streets of St. Louis, Deborah passionately, brilliantly and candidly imparts a unique perspective on the climate and culture that she writes has led to the worldwide, out-of-control rate of growth of AIDS and offers with the help of insightful clergy the only answer, the only hope that is available. This spiritual debut submission by Ms. Latchison is certain to become an invaluable source reference to be used for years to come, truly a 'must-have' for your personal library.
