Jenna Bush hopes new book will “start a dialogue” about HIV/AIDS

Jenna Bush, the president’s daughter, agreed to sit for her first-ever extended newspaper interview to talk about Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, her new book for young adults. The book is a nonfiction account of the struggles and triumphs of a Latin American teenager born HIV–positive. Bush, who has been a teaching assistant and has taught third grade, says she’s hoping to “start a dialogue” with young Americans about HIV/AIDS and other hurdles—poverty, abuse, lack of education—that confront millions of children worldwide.
