Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Third printing [stated]. 318, [2] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by both authors on the half-title page. Inscriptions read: To Karen, We each have an important role in this battle. Thank you for Coming. Elizabeth Glaser 5/9/91, and Use the spirit of compassion an…d hope. Laura Palmer. A personal account of the tragic impact of AIDS chronicles one family's battle with the disease, after a blood transfusion infects a mother and her children, and their life-affirming efforts to do something about it. 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. Elizabeth Glaser (née Meyer; November 11, 1947 December 3, 1994) was an American AIDS activist and child advocate married to actor and director Paul Michael Glaser. She contracted HIV very early in the AIDS epidemic after receiving an HIV-contaminated blood transfusion in 1981 while giving birth. Like many other HIV-infected mothers, Glaser unknowingly passed the virus to her infant daughter, Ariel, who died in 1988. Laura Palmer is the author of Shrapnel in the Heart: Letters and Remembrances from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and has collaborated on a number of other books, including the New York Times bestseller Escape and To Catch a Predator with NBC's Chris Hansen and In the Absence of Angels with Elizabeth Glaser. Derived from a Kirkus review: In an extraordinary book, the wife of TV star Paul Michael Glaser tells the harrowing story of her family's many-fronted battle with AIDS. In 1981, Elizabeth Glaser contracted AIDS through blood transfusions received after childbirth. Five years later, she learned that her daughter, Ariel, had developed AIDS; that she herself had the HIV virus; and that her 18-month-old son also carried the disease. "Along with this hideous medical diagnosis," she writes, "came instructions on how we needed to handle the rest of the world." Immediately, the Glasers enlisted friends "in a conspiracy of silence" to protect their children. Glaser writes of the "incredible isolation," then of the nightmare of watching the disease take possession of her uncomplaining five-year-old. Ariel is soon in great pain, unable to walk, eat, or speak, her brain "atrophied." Quickly, Glaser realized that doctors knew little about AIDS in children, that children with AIDS couldn't get AZT--then the only effective drug--and that they had no advocate. Keenly aware of her privileged position, Glaser began her indefatigable fight to raise research money, lobbying in Washington and setting up The Pediatric AIDS Foundation; this funding fight has helped her transcend the devastation of her daughter's death. Aided by Palmer, Glaser speaks with candor of fear, rage, and grief so sharp that she can handle it only alone. She expresses her love for her family, and gratitude to constant friends, certainly "the real live angels." A powerful story of private and public dimension--sad, but not without hope--through which a courageous woman gives voice to the estimated 20,000 American children who now have AIDS.
