This book wasn't on any of my lists. I simply walked into the library last week and started looking up and down the aisles for different books that were on my list. I picked this book up because I have read a couple other books by Ms. Nordberg and enjoyed them. (I think I own those two books but I can't remember).
This book intrigued me because of the weighty subject Ms. Nordberg dealt with... AIDS. AIDS and homosexuality are difficult concepts for a Christian to grasp. So often we state the "love the sinner, hate the sin" mantra but don't practice it. Instead, Christians go around wiping down keyboards because the sister of a man who has AIDS played there.
Ms. Nordberg did a commendable job dealing with complicated physical symptoms and complicated spiritual emotions and reactions. While her writing style is not on the level of some of my absolute favorite authors I did enjoy this book. (I know it's picky but using "Even though" to start two paragraphs with only one small paragraph in between them is a bit distracting).
