About the Author:
Susan Kuklin is the award winning author/photographer of over thirty books for children and young adults, including Dance (co-authored with Bill T. Jones), Hoops with Swoopes, How My Family Lives in America, Iqbal Masih and the Crusaders Against Child Slavery, and Trial: The Inside Story. Her photographs have appeared in major magazines and newspapers.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 9 Up Kuklin adds to the growing body of AIDS-related literature with this moving documentation of a group of people who volunteer to help people with AIDS by providing support for them and doing their daily chores. The volunteers, a team of "buddies" for New York City's Gay Men's Health Crisis, are a diverse group of men and women, straight and gay, who have chosen to make a difference in the fight against AIDS. The portraits of the volunteers and their clients show the physical and emotional strain that can come of dealing with a debilitating illness daily, while they also reveal depths of courage and strength. Kuklin includes much information regarding the transmission of the HIV virus, antibody testing, orthodox and alternative treatments, and aspects of day-to-day living with the disease. Powerful black-and-white photos of the people mentioned in the book make the stories all the more personal. The book humanizes a serious disease about which many are prejudiced, and it encourages understanding. Certainly this book should be shared widely among people whose lives have been affected by AIDS. The level of commitment shown by the team of buddies and the spirit of the PWAs will speak to everyone, and Fighting Back may encourage more people to join the fight. David Gale, "School Library Journal"
