I finished the book Crazy Love and so now I have started a new book called Ana's Story. This book was written by Jenna Bush, the daughter or President Bush. The story is told in the perspective of Ana, a young girl who was born with HIV. It is a real story about a real girl. When she was very young, her mother died. Her sister and her were sent to live with their grandmother because their father was too young to take care of them alone. Ana never knew why she had to take a pill every morning that her grandma gave her, but she did it anyways. Finally one day she was told why. Her grandma told her she was born with the disease HIV but that she was not allowed to tell anyone. It was to be kept a secret. From then on, Ana worried about the way people looked at her and was scared they knew. She feared the secret was bad and something to be ashamed of, so she never told anyone.
So far this book has been interesting to me. Most of all it has been sad. I feel bad for any young girl that is going through so much and is so ashamed of herself. At that young of an age you shouldn't have any cares in the world. Unfortunately for her, she has a lot to deal with. Her home situation and her disease are keeping her from enjoying her childhood and just being a kid.
