| (Embedded image | A Journey of Hope |

| pic03340.jpg) | Ana's life is a collection of bits |
| | and pieces of her past. Infected with |
| | HIV at birth, she's unaware of many |
| | details of her early childhood and |
| | barely remembers her mother. Living |
| | with her strict grandmother, she |
| | learns how to keep secrets ? secrets |
| | about her infection and about the |
| | abuse she endures at home. But after |
| | Ana falls in love and becomes |
| | pregnant at seventeen, she begins a |
| | journey of hope ? a journey of |
| | protecting herself and others. She is |
| | living with HIV, not dying from it. |
| | Jenna Bush tells of Ana's struggle to |
| | break free from the cycle of abuse, |
| | silence, and illness with passion and |
| | eloquence. But this is not just Ana's |
| | story. It is also the story of many |
| | children around the world who are |
| | marginalized, neglected, and |
| | mistreated. |
