These gripping, true-life stories advocate for those living with chronic illness (continued from front flap) --

Determined to take charge of her own life after her family is slaughtered before her eyes, Sabrina Lovett heads west and disembarks from a train to start anew. Hiding from her affluent brother she takes on the guise of a boy. Everything is going well until the exasperating new sheriff comes to town.
Sabrina was a party girl, and that partying only got worse when her mother passed away. Eventually, things got so wild that she slept with three different men in about as many days—one of them being Chase. When a month came and went with no period, she realized that she was pregnant. Not knowing who the father was, and ashamed of her choices, she never spoke to the three men again, vowing to get straight and raise her son on her own. She worked hard, saved up money, and did the best for her son. And then one day, when her little boy, Oliver, was three, Chase came back into her life. Despite not wanting to fall for him, the two are now inseparable. And while she knows he could be Oliver’s dad, she isn’t willing to get her hopes up. Chase himself suspects that Oliver is his son, but he fears pushing her about the issue and having things blow up in his face.

At a time when social support resources were in decline and publicly funded HIV/AIDS care programs were being re-prioritized, women’s daily struggles with chronic poverty, drug addiction, mental health, and neighborhood violence influenced women’s lives in sometimes unexpected ways. An ethnographic portrait of HIV-positive black women and their interaction with ...
She was a destitute woman whose life was dependent on others. She was forced to be a scapegoat and traded herself, which resulted in her pregnancy.

Pleasures and Perils follows a group of young girls living on Nevis, an island society in the Eastern Caribbean. In this provocative ethnography, Debra Curtis examines their sexuality in gripping detail: why do Nevisian girls engage in sexual activity at such young ages? Where is the line between coercion and consent? How does a desire for wealth affect a girl's sexual practices? Curtis shows that girls are often caught between conflicting discourses of Christian teachings about chastity, public health cautions about safe sex, and media enticements about consumer delights. Sexuality's contradictions are exposed: power and powerless¡ness, self-determination and cultural control, violence and pleasure. Pleasures and Perils illuminates the methodological and ethical issues anthropologists face when they conduct research on sex, especially among girls. The sexually explicit narratives conveyed in this book challenge not only the reader's own thoughts on sexuality but also the broader limits and possibilities of ethnography.
