It was only when Dolores was on her deathbed that she told her
husband, Cesar, that she had AIDS, as did their two small children
and Cesar. Despite overwhelming obstacles, Cesar is fiercely
devoted to caring for his children, one of whom is blind from the
disease. Loretta and Mike Riley are on welfare with physical
ailments of their own (diabetes, cancer, heart disease);
nonetheless their love for a boy severely disabled from AIDS has
brought about an astonishing transformation in him. Angelina,
because of emotional problems in addition to HIV complications, has
been in six different foster homes in two years, but is now in a
home where she is thriving. Far from despairing, A Small, Good
Thing presents intimate and life-affirming portraits of children
born with HIV and the medical personnel, biological families, and
foster families who care for them. Through these stories we see the
effects of the disease on children and the efficacy of current
treatments as well as the ins and outs of the medical systems and
social agencies meant to help these children. Children with HIV are
an often overlooked group. This immensely powerful and important
book provides much needed attention and hope.
