All the Young Men: A Memoir of Love, AIDS, and Chosen Family in the American South

Ruth Coker Burks' "AIDS Warrior" is a powerful memoir that tells the story of her unwavering commitment to caring for those affected by AIDS in Arkansas during the 1980s.

Through her selfless acts of kindness and advocacy, Ruth becomes a beacon of hope for an otherwise spurned group of ailing gay men on the fringes of a deeply conservative state.

Her tireless efforts to find housing, jobs, and funeral homes for those in need are nothing short of heroic, and her unwavering dedication to their safety and visibility is a testament to her strength and resilience.

This memoir is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community during a time of great social and political upheaval.
