Book Reviews of Baby Alicia Is Dying
Book Review: Desi struggles in giving and recieving love.
Summary: 5 Stars
Desi's life is changing. She is starting a new school, Grady High School. She is just a normal 14 year old freshman. But as you find out, she has a lot more problems than any ordinary teenager. Her struggle to try to get her parents to notice her is intense because Valerie (Desi's sister) is in the spotlight, and steals all the attention. Other than that, Desi is harassed at school for helping out at ChildCare. ChildCare is where Desi volunteers, to help take care of HIV poittive babies. But she sticks up for herself and continues to work there. While she volunteers, she becomes attached to little baby Alicia. She gives so much love to the baby, and gets none in return from her parents. Desi's mother was against the idea at working at ChldCare from the begining. But later on in the story something happens,something that takes a real emotional effect on Desi and it brings Desi and her mom closer together. It also brings up something in her mom's past that she has been trying to forget for years, and Desi has been wondering about it for years. But at the end, Desi not only finds love and attention from her parents but from Brian, her lab partner and her friend through-out the story. But I guess you'll have to read the book yourself to find out the mysteries.
Summary of Baby Alicia Is Dying
Desi thinks it's totally unfair that innocent baby Alicia was born HIV positive. Now the eight-month-old Alicia lives at Childcare because she was given away by her sick teenage mother. Desi can relate to feeling unloved. Her parents give her all the material things she needs, but there seems to be a wall between her mother and herself.Working at Childcare has opened Desi's heart and allowed her to feel the love that she's been longing for. But Alicia is not her child and there is no cure for her condition. Can Desi cope with the harsh realities and still believe in love?
