Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope

by Jenna Bush
Carver County, CD, 3 hours, read by the author

The story was heart-rending. It took a while to get to the "hope" part (from the title). The author's voice was irritating!!! She should have hired a professional. Her pronunciations were atrocious - "impordant" was a frequent one. It amused me that she had over 100 chapters for what was probably 250 pages of material.

Ana is a very young woman who was HIV+ from birth. Her mother and father died young, she was abused and lived in a number of houses, and she became a mother at age 16. What a sad story! But there were some very positive messages about health and family and AIDS education.
