What is it like to be caught in the eye of the HIV/AIDS storm and struggle to keep your family, your friends, and your community together? This is Chanda’s world – she is only sixteen.

“Chanda’s Secrets is a novel with the lilt of Africa in its language and the urgency of adolescent struggle in every paragraph. When AIDS isn’t just a faraway acronym, but a sinister, invisible poison that threatens to steal your family, creep into your nightmares, break your heart, and darken your future, how do you learn to grow up with love and courage? That’s one of Chanda’s secrets. This powerful story hits home with its harsh truths, its pain, and its hard-won hopefulness. No-one can read Chanda’s Secrets and remain untouched by the young people who are caught in the AIDS pandemic and still battling to make sense of their lives."
