The Naked Truth by Marvelyn Brown

At 19, Marvelyn Brown was lying in a stark white hospital bed at Tennessee Christian Medical Center, feeling hopeless. A former top track and basketball athlete, she was in the best shape of her life, but was battling a sudden illness in the intensive care unit. Doctors had no idea what was going on. It never occurred to Brown that she might be HIV positive. Having unprotected sex with her boyfriend set into swift motion a set of circumstances that not only landed her in the fight of her life, but also alienated her from her community. But rather than give up, Brown found a reason to fight, and a reason to live. The Naked Truth is an inspirational memoir of how an everyday teen refused to give up on herself, and a cautionary tale that every young adult should read.
