No More Tomorrows: Two Lives, Two Stories, One Love Book

This morning at 10:15 a.m. I finished reading No More Tomorrows by Rodney Lofton. It's a very powerful book. This is Mr. Lofton first novel and it contained themes of realism, which left me as the reader feeling as though I were reading a biography over a novel. Not that it is a bad thing. The flow of the story and writing still made it feel like you were actually a first-hand witness to their joys and pain. That confirms that he's a seriously talented writer.

There were many lessons learn from reading this book. It opened my eyes to the reality of what H.I.V./AIDS can do to everyone involved from family, to significant others, to the close acquaintances. An illness of any kind is a test to see who's genuinely in your corner and who'll remain there to the end. This novel captured all of that. To sum it all up, the key theme of this book is love. Love can help a person overcome any obstacle that life throws at them.

H.I.V./AIDS can happen to anyone. This was a strong message that it's imperative that we as individuals protect ourselves as well as others we get down with. It all starts with us, first. Communication is everything when it comes our health and safety.

I applaud Mr. Lofton for writing such a beautiful, moving and thought-provoking novel. It's a new favorite of mine.
