TerryAnn Fisher never dreamed she would outlive her son. In her compelling memoir, Conversations with my Son, she chronicles her life from the day she received the phone call that would change her life forever to the moment her son Troy took his last breath. This is the story of TerryAnn and Troy and their journey together. TerryAnn s son, Troy, was diagnosed with AIDS when he applied for the Coast Guard and his mother hoped that the recruiter was kind when he revealed the blood test results to Troy. With an honest and self-disclosing style, TerryAnn chronicles Troy s symptoms, his physical and emotional struggles, and her own fears. Conversations with my Son shares one mother s poignant anecdotes with the hope that she can help others deal with the myriad of emotions that accompany caring for a terminally ill loved one."
