Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope
Baxter, Mia (Photographer) New York: HarperCollins, 2007. First edition. Stated. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. [10], 290 p. Illustrations (many in color). This is based on Jenna Bush's work with UNICEF. Jenna Bush, daughter of President and Mrs. Bush, shares the poignant story of a 17-year-old single mother living with HIV in Panama-an inspiring story of strength and survival. "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope" is a work of narrative nonfiction based on Bush's experiences while interning for UNICEF and the life stories of children and teens she encountered through her work. The book focuses on Ana, a teenage single mother who is bravely living with, rather than dying from, HIV. Ana's determination has allowed her to overcome abuse and abandonment and fight for an education and a better future for her child. Jenna Bush sends a message of hope, involvement and inclusion, and calls for youth involvement in helping other young people triumph over adversity. First Daughter Jenna Bush worked as an intern with UNICEF throughout Latin America and, in her first book, focuses on the life of a young woman she befriended during her travels. Infected with at birth, Ana loses both parents to the disease. After suffering abuse at relatives' homes, she finds a caring center for those living with AIDS, where she falls in love and eventually gets pregnant. Condition: Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling.
