Author Bio
Allan Stratton lives in Toronto, Canada. He is an award-winning and internationally published and produced playwright and novelist. A novel set against the AIDS pandemic, then, is not a book about a virus, but a book about the impact of a virus on universal themes central to the human heart: the love between parents and children, the loyalty of friends, the fear of abandonment, the terror of stigma, the pain of bereavement, and the courage to live with truth.
