The Shepherd
Allan Thomas White, a soldier unable to cope with the atrocities of war becomes a deserter. Along the way on his flight to freedom, he encounters the smallest victims of war: children. Unable to merely abandon them, he strings them along on his journey until he can find a safe and suitable drop-off point. In war-torn Italy, that soon becomes unlikely and he decides to take them with him until he feels he can safely separate from the children. As his journey continues, he finds more displaced children whom he also cannot abandon. They soon total eighteen! Faced with a dilemma not of his choice, he must decide how to handle his growing brood. Read The Shepherd to discover the fate of the children and how he solves his problem of desertion which has come to the attention of the military's upper brass.
Family and HIV Today
AIDS is not solely a medical issue but also has profound implications for social and family relationships. Traditionally when a person is ill, the family is seen to provide emotional, practical and social support. Experience has shown, however, that AIDS disrupts this conventional pattern of support. On the one hand AIDS, like any other serious illness, affects family members both from day to day and in the long term. What distinguishes AIDS from so many other illnesses is the associated social stigma and the fact that HIV may be transmissible, or may have been transmitted, within a relationship. Most psychological and social research has concentrated on the impact of AIDS on individuals. Only recently has attention turned to the effect of AIDS on the family. This is the first book to address AIDS in the family and draws on the work of experienced researchers and practitioners from around the world. It is most fitting that the book should first be published in 1994, the United Nations International Year of the Family. Recognizing the role of the family may mark a change in emphasis in future social research and policy in relation to HIV and AIDS.
