"Not Just Us" A Novel by Victoria Warren Jackson.

In "Not Just Us," author Victoria Warren Jackson delves into the story of two sisters, Desiree and Shanna, whose lives are drastically impacted when Desiree becomes infected with HIV.

As we begin to explore the sisters' lives, it becomes apparent that Desiree's life is far from simple. 

She is a single mother with two children, who are the main source of joy in her otherwise complicated life. On the other hand, her sister Shanna has always been a supportive presence in her life.

Desiree's world is turned upside down when she receives her HIV diagnosis. Suddenly, her life, which once seemed close to perfection, is overshadowed by the fear of dying from AIDS.

As she struggles to cope with her diagnosis, Desiree finds herself questioning every aspect of her life. She yearns for a life beyond her illness, but it seems increasingly out of reach.

Meanwhile, Shanna's life is also deeply affected by her sister's condition. She finds herself navigating an emotional journey of her own, as she supports Desiree through her diagnosis.

With each passing day, Shanna begins to realize that their bond as sisters has never been stronger.

One bright spot in Desiree's life is her new boyfriend. Although she is initially hesitant to open up to him about her diagnosis, his presence provides a sense of stability in her life. 

As their relationship blossoms, Desiree realizes that she is not alone in her struggles.

As the book progresses, Desiree and Shanna's journey becomes a powerful testament to the human spirit. 

Victoria Warren Jackson captures the raw emotions of a family grappling with a life-altering disease, and the sisters' journey demonstrates that, in the face of adversity, love and resilience can triumph.

"Not Just Us" is a poignant tale that explores the strength of familial bonds and the human capacity for love and resilience. 

This book serves as a reminder that, even in the darkest of times, hope can emerge from the depths of despair. 

I highly recommend this touching story to anyone looking for an emotional and thought-provoking read.
