all too human, while attempting to live a soul-filled life. What is
your question?
Have you ever wished something bad would happen to someone evil
because God and the law took too long? There are those that risk it
all for the rest of us. This novel is about those few and the risks
they take on our behalf, and the bystanders that unwittingly get
caught in the fray. Duplicity, is the exquisite yacht manned by
such men. Men intent on luring the world's wealthiest human
traffickers out of their million's and into their final moments on
earth inside Tillamook Rock Lighthouse.
It was in 2000 that Nguyen, the author of the book, first met Pham
Thi Hue, an HIV-infected mother who later became an Asian heroine.
A long talk with Hue had made Nguyen a deep impression on the lives
of HIV-infected women. After that, she found more chances to work
with HIV-positive people. She also found out that women have become
more vulnerable to HIV infection, far from what she has seen from
the statistics in Vietnam that drugs are the main source of HIV
transmission and men are the major victims. As a mother, she was
deeply moved by the fate of many HIV-infected women and more than
that, the short life of many children to whom HIV was transmitted
by their mothers. All her efforts led her to this book, which
presents the situation of HIV transmission from mothers to children
in Vietnam, including the effect of health care system, culture
with traditional norms and values, and personal difficulties of
HIV-infected women. Medical intervention alone is insufficient to
assist women in the comprehensive way accessing PMTCT services,
given their complex needs in a society in which HIV is highly
stigmatized and considered a "social evil."
