{"product_id":"b0h73flrjz","title":"A Life Never Promised: A Long-Term Survivor's Memoir of HIV and Resilience","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor readers of Between Two Kingdoms and Later: My Life at the Edge of the World.\u003cbr\u003e\n“ I am still here not because I overcame illness, but because I learned how to live alongside it.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn April 1984, Eric Novak was hospitalized with a mysterious illness that doctors could not name. He was twenty-eight years old. Three years later, when his partner of twelve years was diagnosed with AIDS, the unnamed illness finally had a name — and so did Eric's future.\u003cbr\u003e\nHe did not expect to survive it.\u003cbr\u003e\nA Life Never Promised  spans more than four decades of living with HIV — through the devastating losses of the epidemic's earliest years, through diagnoses and hospitalizations that would have ended a less stubborn life, through the quiet and extraordinary work of rebuilding when each crisis passed. It is the story of a man who watched an entire generation disappear, who buried partners and friends, who navigated secrecy and stigma and the daily discipline of staying alive — and who is still here to tell it.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is not a story of triumph. It is something rarer and more honest than that — a record of endurance, of love found and lost and found again, of a body that demanded everything and a life that somehow continued forward.\u003cbr\u003e\nSurvival is not a moment you pass through and leave behind. It is a practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924214153461,"sku":"YSL51445","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/71_jzY6m5wL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672553","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0h73flrjz","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
