New York: Penguin, 2004. SIGNED first edition - Inspiring and touching by turns, this book puts a human face on an emotional issue. "'We are all the same' was the closing line of young AIDS sufferer Nkosi Johnson's message to participants at a conference in Durban. Born HIV-positive, Nkosi was adopted by Gail Johnson, a white South African woman, after his mother's death from AIDS. His story became a symbol of the AIDS crisis in Africa when Johnson tried to enroll him in a public school. ABC News reporter Jim Wooten followed Nkosi's experiences as he became a celebrity in his own country and worldwide. Wooten makes the story of Nkosi's short life a personal one; his admiration for the boy is clear." SIGNED on the title page. 244 pp.
