Description
Derek Frost's memoir is a powerful story of love, loss and resilience in the face of adversity. In 1980s London, he met his husband J, with whom he shared a life of adventure, creativity and passion. But when AIDS arrived, their world was turned upside down. J received a death sentence, but they faced their crisis with courage and humour, finding strength in each other and in their faith. As Derek recounts the six-year battle that followed, he describes a transformation of the spirit, from darkness to light. He shares his journey towards healing, spirituality and compassion, and how these experiences led him to co-found Aids Ark, a charity that helped save over 1,000 lives. This is a story of hope and triumph, about facing universal challenges with courage and giving back to others. Through his story, Derek speaks for a generation who lived through a global health crisis that was often ignored or misunderstood. His memoir is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for love, resilience and transformation in the face of adversity.
