    Linda Herman’s tale of a man in denial and a family in crisis was excellent. Her delivery was sharp and well executed. I loved it and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. If anyone knows or even think they know of someone who needs to read about the danger of lewd affairs that can lead to the HIV infection, please pick this book up. It may save a life or two!
