About this audiobook
Well aware of the stigma of AIDS, the Glasers retreated behind a wall of secrecy to protect their family. Only when the National Enquirer threatened to invade that privacy, did the Glasers "go public". Despite the book's title, In the Absence of Angels is a heartwarming story filled with angels - generous, caring, imaginative people who listened and helped.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very hard book to read know that the author has passed away, It is a very well written and tragic story of how her family was affected by AIDS. The author shows the struggles and fight to come to term with what has happened to her family and an iron will to change how society and the government deals with aids victims especially children.
