Catherine Njeri, a beautiful, young and intelligent woman, learns with shock and utter disbelief that she is HIV positive. This means many things to her, she cannot go ahead with her plans to study for her master's degree in the USA and she has to start thinking like somebody who is at the end of life. In a heart-breaking style, she makes the revelation to her long-time friend, Marilyn, in form of a letter. The confessions are frank and provide a lot of factual information about the AIDS infection.
