Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton

Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton

Like any girl, sixteen-year-old Chanda Kabelo has secrets. She is determined to be loyal to her rebellious friend Esther, she wories about passing her exams, and she wishes she didn't have to spend so much time listening to her Mama chat with their nosy neighbour Mrs Tafa. But one secret threatens to silence everything. All around her people are dying, and everyone is afraid to say why. But Chanda knows: it's because of AIDS. "Chanda's Secrets" is a tense and deeply moving story of one girl's struggle to rescue the people she loves from a tragedy that is destroying her world.

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.
