About This Book
When fifteen-year-old Desi volunteers to take care of AIDS babies at Childcare, she realizes that she receives as much as she gives. After Desi falls in love with baby Alicia, she must grow up quickly to face the fact that babies can die. Desi thinks it’s totally unfair that innocent baby Alicia was born HIV positive. Now the eight-month-old Alicia lives at Childcare because she was given away by her sick teenage mother. Desi can relate to feeling unloved. Her parents give her all the material things she needs, but there seems to be a wall between her mother and herself.

Working at Childcare has opened Desi’s heart and allowed her to feel the love that she’s been longing for. But Alicia is not her child and there is no cure for her condition. Can Desi cope with the harsh realities and still believe in love?
