What do you do when you receive a diagnosis that will change your entire life? You have your entire life to be sensitive and honest about a subject that remains largely taboo. Revamped, with a new look and exclusive content, the book that conquered international shelves now reaches its second edition.
The lives of Ian, Victor, and Henrique are intertwined by an HIV diagnosis. Victor is insecure when he discovers that Henrique, with whom he is beginning a relationship, is HIV-positive and decides to get tested, even though they only had sex with a condom. Soon after a negative result, he meets Ian, a college student like himself who has just received life-changing news. In his drive to help the boy, Henrique intertwines the fates of the three.
Lucas Rocha narrates, from three perspectives, the fears, hopes and prejudice suffered by those living with HIV, but, above all, tells a story that is not about guilt or being sick, but rather about how we can form our own families and about never forgetting that we still have our whole lives.
Recently published in English in the United States by Scholastic Press, the new edition of Você tem a vida toda - which in foreign lands had its title adapted to Where we go from here - features, in addition to the cover design of the foreign publisher, a preface and an exclusive interview with Lucas Rocha for Editora Record's blog, in which he talks about representation, the character development process, research for writing the book, his greatest literary inspirations, among other details.
