520 | |a An astonishing memoir chronicling one man's nearly thirty-year battle with HIV, Inside Shadows offers a ray of hope to those living with the virus. For Thomas Pfeifer, the summer of 1985 was supposed to be the best time of his life. Recently out of the closet and getting closer to accepting his true self, Thomas revels in his newfound freedom and growing circle of friends. But then community members start disappearing. First one, then whole handfuls of bar patrons. Panic sets in as rumors circulate. A virus on the coasts is making its way to Minneapolis...and everyone knows it's deadly. Just three years into his journey as an out gay man, Thomas's life turns upside down when he, too, discovers he has HIV. Suddenly his life choices are under the microscope. Can he adapt to the pressure and make the positive changes needed to survive? Or will he follow the path taken by so many of his friends, and live a life of ignorance, only taking action when it's too late? Inside Shadows documents Thomas's incredible transformation as he moves from fear toward acceptance. At a time when hype and hatred dominate the American media, Thomas quietly takes a stand by joining forces with other supportive community members. Over the years he discovers that by following his inner wisdom, and listening to the advice of trusted individuals, he can turn the tide on the world's deadliest virus. | ||
