Publisher Notes
In a novel the Village Voice calls "memorable" and "striking," Alice Hoffman vividly portrays a family shattered by tragedy when eleven-year-old Amanda is diagnosed with AIDS... "Brilliant...explosive...heart-rending." --Chicago Tribune "Graceful...emotionally potent...A cathartic tale that begs us, with heartbreaking eloquence, to stop looking the other way."--Glamour "Within pages, the reader falls in love with this very real little girl... Moving, dramatic and painfully human." --Miami Herald "Compelling power...tenderness and perceptiveness."--New York Times "I have rarely encountered a work that has moved me as strongly... extraordinary." --Mademoiselle "Deeply impressive...powerful."--Newsweek "Deeply moving...Sensitivity and empathy...radiate from this beautiful novel." --Chicago Sun-Times "Compassionate...This is a serious, honest novel." --Village Voice "Tender, strikingly simple and deeply memorable." --Kirkus Reviews "An affecting novel of exquisite delicacy, with humor, warmth, and sensitivity. Miss Hoffman heals wounds with the gentle touch of an angel." --Joseph Heller
