A Sister's Tale: A Family Memoir

In December 1993, John Dally flew from New York to London to be admitted to the hospital suffering from pneumonia. It is an illness that signals the beginning of a grueling journey to his death from AIDS. For John's siblings, it will be the death of another brother; for his physician parents, the death of another son in his mid-forties. In this moving account of John's last month, his sister Emma describes the impact that AIDS has on her, his friends, and his family. Endearingly honest, it is a tribute to loving sisterhood as much as to a young man struck down in his prime.
