Princess is her name, not her title. Yet Zulu brings almost regal strength, hope, and a sense of responsibility to this memoir. Born in Kabwe, Zambia, Zulu had little more than a ninth-grade education, learning more on Africa's diverse streets. She tells of the toll AIDS took on her life, ripping away her parents before it came for her at age 21. Orphaned and left to care for six siblings, Princess faced difficult choices in the name of survival. With astounding perspective, Zulu happily claims her HIV-positive diagnosis as God's mission. Against custom and her husband's wishes, Zulu speaks out about her status, risking divorce and excommunication. She bears Zambia's burden by educating her countrymen about the disease; her extraordinary journey fighting for 15 million children orphaned by AIDS has taken Princess from the dusty villages of Zambia to the global corridors of power, from the White House to the United Nations. In this book, she puts faces on the population of HIV-positive Africans. Death is so much more common in Africa, but does it hurt less? Openly and tirelessly, she turns AIDS into an injury to the global body that readers won't be able to ignore. Princess' story shows that while life is uncertain, we each have a role to play in bringing healing and hope to our world.
