(3) YA With Ali Benjamin. Rawl recounts her journey through discovery, bullying, suicidal despair, and activism as an HIV-positive teen, tying her story into larger messages about difference, hatred, healing, and courage, with additional focus on her anti-bullying platform. Rawl is frank and likable; her memoir's strong narrative arc and relatable emotional reference points make it a highly readable conduit to multiple timely issues. Abundant resources are appended.
