A Journey of Hope Neil Willenson Camp Heartland ISBN: 0-9767169-3-3 Non-Fiction, Health, HIV Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Camp Heartland is a loving community for children that have been affected by HIV. The children who attend the camp enjoy all of the activities of other normal children. However, unlike in most communities, all children are welcome to join the fun without prejudice, fear, preconceived notions, or judgment.

A Journey of Hope is filled with stories, poems, and thought from the councillors, volunteers, parents, and children who have attended Camp Heartland. Many of the children also share their stories of living with HIV. Some of the pieces also represent eulogies to friends who lost their battle.

This book seeks to educate the public about HIV and AIDS. It would seem that ignorance, fear, and judgment continue to be major part of the myth of HIV. To break down these myths, HIV is given a face, a name, and a story. Profits from the sale of this book support the projects of Camp Heartland.
