IT'S MIDNIGHT and I'M NOT FAMOUS YET, a new novel by W. P. Strange
Every life has its challenges, and David's is no exception. After a
lifetime battling the pain and damage that hemophilia has done to
his joints, a blood product, factor VIII, meant to slow the
advancement of the disease has infected him, and 90% of
hemophiliacs with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS and the death
toll begins to mount. Now as he is about to turn the big four-O,
someone told his employer at the architectural firm where he has
worked for fifteen years that David has AIDS and he is fired.
Muriel, his wife seems to be drifting away and he thinks he is
trying too hard to live vicariously through his two sons and their
little league team. Then when a close friend who also has
hemophilia and is HIV positive, commits suicide David begins to
feel the hopelessness of the predicament. But he has never learned
how to quit, and does the only thing he can think of, he starts
over. With the help of a psychologist who David thinks is a bit out
of touch, he begins to rebuild his life again.
