商品描述内容简介Award-winning correspondent for ABC World News andNightlineJim Wooten is a seasoned newsman who has covered tragedy the world over. Now he tells the story of Nkosi Johnson, an eleven-year-old South African boy born with AIDS into poverty in a shantytown and given only a few years to live. But his ailing mother managed to cross her countrys divisions of race and class to bring him to Gail Johnson, who would raise him for her. Before his own death at the age of twelve, Nkosi had become, in Nelson Mandelas words, "an icon of the struggle for life" for millions in Africa and around the world. And he had changed Wootens life in ways Wooten is still discovering.We Are All the Sameis a work of Biblical simplicity and power that reveals the astonishing resilience of the human spirit.媒体推荐Amazing and tender... in this special book [Wooten] brings home the tragedy of AIDS. --Liz Smith,New York Post
