Do unsettling truths bring harsh judgment? They do, but the price of denial is steep.
D.K. Sanz's story begins in the drug-infested New York City streets of Woodside, Queens, during the tumultuous HIV/AIDS pandemic of the Eighties and Nineties. It offers a glimpse into how a now often-overlooked pandemic impacted Sanz's nuclear family. From her earliest days, Sanz was the easily forgotten stranger, always a little out of sync with the rest of the worlda tough but naïve kid and aspiring writer. Her triumph over illness and addiction includes amusing anecdotes and nostalgic, heartwarming memories.
Deep-dive into Sanz's confessional self-sabotage, self-destruction, and the harrowing downward spiral she almost didn't survive. Her never-before-told story ranges from recklessness and impudence to empathy, forgiveness, and love.
This book discusses a specific person's experiences with drug overdose, HIV/AIDS, and mental health issues as a result of violence, abuse, and sexual assault. If necessary, please engage in self-care. The vulgar language is minimal but may offend those who prefer none at all.
